About Kolkata (City of Joy)

Kolkata (Calcutta) — affectionately known as the 'City of Joy' — is the cultural, intellectual, and artistic capital of India. Set along the Hooghly River in West Bengal, Kolkata mesmerizes with its grand colonial architecture like the white marble Victoria Memorial, the cantilevered engineering marvel of Howrah Bridge, historic yellow Ambassador cabs, and tram cars. Renowned for Nobel laureates like Rabindranath Tagore, the spiritual sanctuaries of Dakshineswar and Belur Math, and legendary Bengali sweets (Rosogolla and Sandesh), Kolkata touches your soul.
