Kolkata- The Land Where Love Sparks From the Inner Core

Kolkata was the capital of India during the British rule. The city's documented history, however, begins with the advent of the East India Company. The Company was consolidating its trade business in Bengal when the capital shredded its beautiful incarnation. The city since then has maintained its epitome of ecstatic beauty to mesmerize the people from all over the world. Kolkata is the name that reflects the deep cultural heritage binding our vey integrity with one another. 

The city has long been known for its literary, artistic and revolutionary heritage. As the former capital of India, it was the birthplace of modern Indian literary, artistic and scholastic thought. The people of the place tend to have a special appreciation for art and literature; its tradition of welcoming new talent has made it a "city of furious creative energy". The cultural capital of India apart from being the hub of cultural uniformity also holds the paradise of humanity sparkled by the emotive domain! 

Not only has it emerged into a beautiful city but also into a city full of inspirations. The climate, of the former capital of India, being moderate always favours the stay of the tourists who come.  If we want to enjoy the city then some amount of planning is required like how to come to the city, where to stay, which guides to hire which routes to take etc but once all that is decided or arranged, the rest is on us. As the seat of British power between the 18th – 19th century, Calcutta has long enthralled travellers from far-flung countries all over the world. Centuries later, and armed with a new name, 'Kolkata' is busy and bustling. But if you care to look beyond the cacophony of noise and heat, this enigmatic city could give you a whole gamut of experience unlike anywhere in India. For, this is the place of the first Episcopal Church (St. Paul's cathedral) and the largest science hub (Science city) in Asia. It is where the world renowned Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore was born. Two of the holiest Kali temples in India (Kalighat and Dakhineswar) and the famous Belur Math find pride of place here. 

Some memorable places in Kolkata are Fort William, Birla Planetarium, Victoria Memorial, Eden Garden, Howrah Bridge, Botanical Garden, The Saheed Minar, Writers Building and Marble Palace. Each place has its own features and is unique in its own way. Fort William is located on the banks of the river Hooghly and is named after the King Williams III of England. It was built in order to gain protection from the Muslim invaders. Presently it is a military area and permissions are required to enter the fort and see it. Similarly the Victoria Memorial is a grand architectural miracle. It was established in 1921 and is a museum at present. In fact it is considered as the finest museum of Kolkata. Next come the Birla Planetarium which is largest museum of Asia. Consisting of sophisticated instruments and interactive art galleries this place teaches us a lot about the galaxy and planets stars etc.
