Standing proudly on the banks of the majestic Hooghly River, the incredible city of Kolkata is the true reflection of classy culture, rich history, and promising future. Capital city of the state of West Bengal, this city was formerly called Calcutta. Kolkata is the centre stage for the Communist movements in India. The long course of history has ceded a number of honours to this marvellous city, one being ‘Cultural Capital of India.’ The decorated doors, the flower markets emanating colours, the hustle-bustle on the streets – the festivity never seems to be ending in this remarkable part of the country.

The air of Kolkata seems to be filled with camphor, vermilion, and strong spicy odours coming of the kitchens. There are a number of beautiful places to visit in Kolkata. Victoria Memorial is one of the most popular tourist attractions of this city. Surrounded by greenery and wide roads, this white structure is truly an architecture marvel. The experience is further enhanced by the chariot ride right in front of this beautiful monument. Then there are other places to visit, such as, Howrah Bridge, Dakhineshwar temple, Marble Palace, and of course the flower market of Kolktata. Do not forget the amazing fish curry and other savouring cuisine from this beautiful place.
