Kolkata, the former British colonial foothold on the marshy Ganges and Brahmaputra deltas, is a vast city of 14 million. This proud, packed and polluted mass, with its crumbling gems of Victorian architecture, is called the capital of India's intellectuals. See it from a Morris Oxford or cut down on pollution and hop on a rickshaw. Experience the chaos and clamour of the New Market area, wander amid fronds in the Botanical Garden or around Victoria Monument, or join the hordes at Dakshineshwar Kali Temple.
This was my first time in India , I had dual mission travel and attending the Indian wedding .

First part of our journey was in calcatta . which they call city of joy (city of missionaries of charity and mother Theresa ).
Calcatta has a lot of good places to vist and is cheaper than other cities but dirtier as well :-)
