Why is KOLKATA my favourite city?

Not only Kolkata a beautiful city but it is also the capital of India's West Bengal state. Today Kolkata is also known for its grand colonial architecture, art galleries and cultural festivals. It’s also home to Mother House, headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, founded by Mother Teresa . I just love this place as i have visited this place three times. Most of my friends stay here as there are very good colleges for Graduation here and also it is a Metropolitan City .

Places to Visit in Kolkata

Victoria Memorial

The Victoria Memorial is built of white Makrana marble. In design it echos the Taj Mahal with its dome, four subsidiaries, octagonal-domed chattris, high portals, terrace, and domed corner towers.

Princep Ghat

Prinsep Ghat is one of the oldest recreational spots of Kolkata. People visit it in the evenings on weekends to go boating on the river, stroll along the bank and purchase food from stalls there. A 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) stretch of the beautified riverfront from Prinsep Ghat to Babughat (Baje Kadamtala Ghat) was inaugurated on 24 May 2012. It has illuminated and landscaped gardens and pathways, fountains and renovated ghats.

Howrah bridge

The bridge is one of four on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. The other bridges are the Vidyasagar Setu (popularly called the Second Hooghly Bridge), the Vivekananda Setu and the newly built Nivedita Setu. It weathers the storms of the Bay of Bengal region, carrying a daily traffic of approximately 100,000 vehicles and possibly more than 150,000 pedestrians easily making it the busiest cantilever bridge in the world.The third-longest cantilever bridge at the time of its construction, the Howrah Bridge is currently the sixth-longest bridge of its type in the world.src

If i would have not been living in Jamshedpur would definitely wanted to settle down there. I like Kolkata because there are many job and carrier oriented facilities there the food is also not too expensive as we get everything at reasonable prices.

Hope you liked my post and thanks for organising this contest.
