This is a picture of Culcutta, India which is where Ashima is from. You can see how different this is from Ashima's life in the United States. She says she feels awkward in the U.S because she's used to the way thing were in India.

This is an article on arranged marriages. I decided to put this because although it doesn't say, Ashoke and Ashima's wedding was a planned wedding. You can tell because she wasn't expecting to see him in her house as explained in the first chapter of the book.

This artifact is the sculpture (or piece of art) known as the Taj Mahal. It is not only Indian in nature, but it relates to the plot of the book as this was the first place in which Gogol has gone rather than only Calcutta for his family in the eight month period in his sophomore year.

"Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past."- Nikolai Gogol

I chose this quote because Ashima feels that moving to the U.S was a mistake. Then she gives birth to Gogol, and then Sonia. Her children make her change her point of view and she changes her mind about the U.S.

This artifact is a pdf of the short story "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol. I chose this artifact because it is the same short story that was adored by Ashoke, which even brought him to naming his son Gogol.

This is a link that describes the naming system in India. Particularly the given name and pet name, this is one of the major conflicts in The Namesake in which the U.S. attempts to enforce a pet name as both, drastically disrespecting the Bengali culture.
