How To Reach Kolkata
West Bengal, India
History of Kolkata: Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, served as the capital of British India until 1911. It is a city that breathes history through its colonial-era buildings and narrow lanes. The city was established as a trading post for the East India Company and eventually became the center o f the Indian Independence Movement. Cultural Essence: Often called the Cultural Capital of India, it is the birthplace of modern Indian literary and artistic thought. The legacy of Rabindranath Tagore and Satyajit Ray continues to influence the local lifestyle. Economic Importance: It remains the primary commercial and financial hub of Eastern India, centered around the Hooghly River. Modern Transformation: Today, Kolkata is a mix of old-world charm, with its iconic Trams and yellow Ambassador Taxis, and modern infrastructure like the Salt Lake Sector V IT hub and massive shopping malls in New Town. The city is famous for its hospitality and the philosophy of "Adda" or intellectual conversation. The culinary scene is dominated by world-famous Bengali sweets like Rosogolla and spicy street food like Kathi Rolls. From the bustling crowds of Howrah Station to the serene beauty of the Ganga ghats at sunset, Kolkata offers a sensory experience unlike any other city in the world. It is a place where every wall tells a story and every festival is a grand celebration of life. :
