  1. A very interesting post had no idea about this and the research you have done to dig this information is commendable. I have been to New Market a few times but never noticed the Coat Of Arms.. next time for sure…. 🙂

  2. This was such an informative and interesting post. The word ‘hargile’ used to find everyday usage in Bengali before like comparing a skinny person with ‘hargile’. I guess this kind of similes just vanished with the birds as well.

  3. This is really interesting. I never knew that CMC had a coat of arms.
    Next time i go to new market i will keep an eye.

  4. These scavenger birds were depicted in old paintings of Calcutta and one such painting where they can be seen was Dalhousie square.

  5. What an interesting piece of information and mystery!!! A commendable research and beautiful description. Looking forward for more.
