Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta until 2001, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. Located on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River, it is an important cultural, commercial, and educational center in Eastern India. With a rich history dating back to its founding by the British East India Company in 1690, Kolkata was the capital of British India until 1911 before the title was transferred to Delhi. The city is known for its grand colonial architecture, art galleries, cultural festivals, and extensive libraries. It has a population of approximately 4.5 million in the city proper, with a metropolitan population exceeding 15 million, making it one of the most populous urban areas in the world. Kolkata has played a pivotal role in the history of Indian nationalism and has been a birthplace for many modern movements and intellectual figures. The city's architecture is a blend of colonial, modern, and traditional Indian styles. It is also known for its unique tram system, vibrant street food culture, and the Durga Puja festival, which is a major event celebrated with grandeur, showcasing the city's rich cultural heritage. Kolkata continues to be a key economic and cultural hub in India, with a significant impact on the country's literature, cinema, and modern art movements. 🎉Follow 💫DuckTravel走鴨旅行✨ Support Me Coffee: YouTube: @DuckTravel Instagram： 💥ℹ️Turn ON the Closed Captions (CC) for info about Attractions ! 📷Date of shooting December 11, 2023 🗺️Interactive map 📍Today’s attractions and routes 🎬Itinerary 00:00 Howrah Station [Open CC, Turn on subtitles] 04:11 Howrah Bridge [Open CC, Turn on subtitles] 13:04 Howrah Flower Market [Open CC, Turn on subtitles] 14:08 Mahatma Gandhi Road 24:07 Bara Bazar [Open CC, Turn on subtitles] 43:01 Rabindra Sarani 53:34 Nakhoda Masjid [Open CC, Turn on subtitles] Thanks for watching!
