MASH Podcast: Indian Art History - Episode Twenty Two: Kalighat Paintings
Show Notes

A quick tour to 19th century Kolkata. We are particularly visiting the Kalighat temple where the Kalighat paintings are being sold as souvenirs to pilgrims. This resulted in an art style that spoke not just about religion and mythology but also urged its readers to think beyond through social satire.
