Battala Publications printed cheap editions of religious tracts, scriptures, literature, etc.
The prints from the Battala region in Bengal, which frequently had a religious or mystical theme, became well-known in the early 19th century. Cheap copies of religious material, such as pamphlets and scriptures, as well as filthy and scandalous books, could be purchased here. Several of these books had extensive woodcut and coloured lithograph illustrations. Women were able to read the Battala magazines in their free time since peddlers brought them to their houses. Despite being considered a source of deplorable and offensive "street literature," the print business built up around Battala impacted modern history.
