Mangaloreans have always felt proud of their ancient past. Mangalore , a small, homely town over a hundred years ago, slowly grew into what it is now, a glorious city. But like any other city, Mangalore also had its humble beginnings. It is not always that we get a chance to go back into the past and savor the great old days.
Daijiworld senior correspondent of Sharjah UAE, searched the archives and pulled out old pictures of Mangalore landmarks. Presently on a brief visit to the city, he went around Mangalore and clicked pictures of different places of interest from the same spot that our ancestors did , some of them almost 80 years ago.
Daijiworld brings to you some dramatic pictures that compare our ancient past with the modern Mangalore. Sit back and watch the ancient world through the Agfa Black & White to the modern digital world.
