| A city of Joy and Love,
Grandeur and Glory... Kolkata alias Calcutta is full of life and bustle,
verging on the chaotic as traditional occupations rub shoulders with ultra
modern industries. Kolkata is India's second largest city and the capital
of West Bengal, situated at the point where the Indian subcontinent starts
to narrow into the triangular southern peninsula. Formerly the capital
of British India (1772-1912), it is a city with a great deal of charm
- its imperial monuments, strong cultural and religious flavour leaves
an indelible impression on the visitor.
