Kolkata, one of the main city in the state of West Bengal, has been given the city nickname of Palaces. This name has got it from many magnificent buildings built around the city. Contrary to many other North Indian cities, whose construction has a minimum emphasis, most of the architectural diversity in Kolkata originally influenced European styles and British interest, and influenced by little, much of Portuguese and French. The designs of the buildings were inspired by the interests of the English gentlemen and aspiring Bengali babu (literally, a novel Bengali Bengali, who is eager to adopt English manners, because these modes were favorable for making monetary benefits from the British). . Today, many of these buildings are in various stages of demotion. Several major buildings of this period have been well maintained and many buildings have been declared as heritage buildings.
From the historical perspective, the story of West Bengal begins with Gound and Panduwa, which is located near the present town of Malda. Twin medieval towns were plundered at least once in the 15th century when changing power. Nevertheless, the ruins of this period are left and many architectural specimens still retain the glory and shine of that time. Hindu architecture art of Bishnupur is famous all over the world in mud and laterite sandstone. Architectural architecture of Murshidabad and Cooch-Bihar emerged during the British colonial era.
