The Rationale Behind The Name

Lion statues once were symbols of pride adorning the gates of Bengal’s colonial mansions, symbolizing strength, protection, and aristocracy. Blending Indo-European architecture with Bengali traditions, they reflected a fusion of colonial grandeur and cultural relevance. Their presence, often linked to Goddess Durga, conveyed dominance and spiritual significance. These majestic figures were more than ornamentation; silent sentinels of power and prestige.
