On 16th March 2018, Kolkata witnessed the preview of a first of its kind show called VIVA, an initiative by Calcutta Heritage Collective, where over 35 photographs, taken from across the world and Kolkata in journeys which have taken years, reveals the marvels created by human hand. It was an event which served as a reminder that the art of great architectural value is eternal and timeless if we care to preserve and restore it.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi and organization’s ambassadors – Usha Uthup, Bikram Ghosh and Shuvaprasanna Bhattacharya.
