When you think of crowds, the first thing that comes to mind is the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It’s unrivalled stature as an Indian cricket ground is derived mostly from the fact that it can pack in as many as 100,000 passionate cricket fans. Kolkata has traditionally been a city in which sport has been held in high esteem. Whether it is football or cricket, the locals throng to matches. What’s more the people for Kolkata tend to be more than patriotic at times, lending unbridled support at times and letting that turn to aggression at moments. This image shows clearly what an imposing structure the Eden Gardens is even while empty… Imagine the same thing packed with fans!
