This is a set of 16 pieces of Kolkata specific merchandise in the form of fridge magnets, each measuring 3 x 4 inches and with wooden frames, we call ‘Ek Baksho Kolkata’ (A Box of Kolkata). From the imposing steeple of St Paul’s Cathedral to the imperious waiter at Indian Coffee House, from the angel atop Victoria Memorial to the splendid façade of the GPO (General Post Office), from the fish market to Howrah Bridge, the collection effortlessly captures the distinctive spirit of Kolkata, all of it in a nostalgic, sepia tone.

Artist Uday Deb has done –taken all the most popular symbols of Kolkata and put them on a set of beautifully mounted, tastefully colorized fridge magnets.
Each artwork piece in Ek Baksho Kolkata is mounted on wooden frames as opposed to plastic or fibre frames. As a result, each of them stands out in a way that is bound to attract attention, and also impart a touch of Kolkata magic to your mundane, everyday fridge.
