construction stresses minimalism, the layout of much of
the architectural variety in Kolkata owes its origins to
European styles and tastes imported by the British and,
to a much lesser extent, the Portuguese and French. The
buildings were designed and inspired by the tastes of
the English gentleman around and the aspiring Bengali
Babu (literally, a nouveau riche Bengali who aspired to
cultivation of English etiquette, manners and custom, as
such practices were favourable to monetary gains from
the British). Today, many of these structures are in
various stages of decay. Some of the major buildings of
this period are well maintained and several buildings
