Paramount Cold Drinks and Syrups sits behind a modest, weathered green facade, distinguished by the pairs of deer antlers mounted above its doorway. Since nineteen eighteen, Nihar Ranjan Mazumdar served his famous sherbets here to revolutionaries, poets, and students from the nearby university. He concocted these secret syrup recipes with the help of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, a renowned chemist who encouraged him to replace imported sodas with local fruit essences. The syrups remain poured from the same distinctive glass bottles today.
