Welcome to Kolkata, the vibrant city that is steeped in history and culture. One of the iconic landmarks here is The Belvedere, which served as the residence of the Governor of Bengal. Its majestic architecture stands tall, reminding us of a bygone era. As you stroll down Chowringhee Road, you'll come across the Grand Hotel - a true testament to luxury and elegance. This historic establishment has been welcoming guests for decades, offering them an unforgettable experience. But amidst all its beauty, it also reveals its grittier side. The dangerous scaffolding scattered throughout the city serves as a reminder of ongoing construction projects and constant development in West Bengal. For those seeking spiritual solace, Parasnath Jain Temple beckons with its serene ambiance. Located in Kolkata (Calcutta), this temple offers devotees a place to find inner peace and tranquility. Travel back in time with William Daniell's painting depicting Calcutta from Garden House Reach in 1835. It captures the essence of old-world charm that still lingers within certain corners of this bustling metropolis. Dalhousie Square houses several government offices that play a crucial role in shaping Kolkata's administrative landscape. This area buzzes with activity as officials work diligently towards progress and governance. The Viceroys Residence stands proudly as a symbol of power and authority during British rule. Its grandeur reflects an era when India was under colonial influence but also reminds us how far we have come since then. Victoria Chambers on Chowringhee Road exudes timeless elegance with its architectural splendor. As you walk past it, take note of garlands made from roses and freesias at Calcutta's flower market - showcasing nature's beauty intertwined with daily life here. No visit to Kolkata would be complete without crossing Howrah Bridge No. 1 - an engineering marvel connecting two sides of this bustling city over River Hooghly. It represents both connectivity and the city's indomitable spirit.
