Kolkata is the city of joy. It’s famous for its palaces and old buildings. If you come to my city visit the National museum and the Victoria Memorial Hall. Don’t forget to have the street food and drink tea from the local shops. But in spite of all the beautiful things my city is a bit chaotic and has a lot of traffic which is often disturbing.
Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta) is a city of commerce, transport, and manufacture, It is the dominant urban centre of eastern India. This large and vibrant Indian city thrives amid seemingly insurmountable economic, social, and political problems. Crowds horde to Kolkata’s book fairs, art exhibitions, and concerts, and there is a lively trading of polemics on walls, which has led to Kolkata being dubbed the “city of posters.” Kolkata remains a quandary to many Indians and to foreigners. It continues to puzzle newcomers and to arouse an abiding nostalgia in the minds of those who have lived there.
Kolkata is the city of Joy and is recognized for the vast number of historical sights it contains. The places to visit are Victoria Memorial, Maidan, Indian Museum, etc. The living cost in Kolkata is less than that in other metro cities of India.
