Recently I was invited to visit one of my close friends family factory where they hand dye and hand print fabrics for various purposes. Before I tell you about the factory and show you images of how they work, let me tell you about the place.
So this is a factory zone, now owned by the government with only a few factories still in operation. Located in the middle of the city but seems that very few people actually know about it. Most of the large factories are empty and have been that way for 10's of years or since the British left. Built by the British during their rule, the place is like a factory and metal graveyard now with beautiful trees growing over the structures. to be honest, you don't feel like you are at a factory zone or in the middle of Kolkata. Peaceful and green and must be a heaven for photographers.
We were actually told of by one of the security guards, for taking photos but before he noticed us, we were able to take a few of them. Judge for your self and if you know who the friend is, you must make it a point to visit the area on your next trip to Kolkata.
