 Kolkata was established as a major Indian city in 19th century. Later on it became Capital of

British India. Many Jain Jewelers migrated from Lucknow, Delhi, Agra, Varanasi etc. came

and started their Gems and Jewelry business In Kolkata (Calcutta). Most of them were Shrimal Jain and some Oswal Jain. These community was called Johari Sath, the oldest Jain community migrated to Kolkata. Main residential districts of this community were Beadon street and Harrison road.
