With the launch
of numerous websites every alternate day, I could not
resist my temptation of making my humble presence felt on the net. I belong to the City Of Joy, Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta).
|
|
This city claims a strong cultural, literary and religious
flavour.
It is also the birth place of many great Indian leaders and
freedom fighters. Kolkata is vibrant through its major activities in the
field of fine arts, music, dance, theatre and literature. This makes the
city a happening place round the year. The calm of the majestic Hoogly
river flowing beside, combined with the rush of the people on the streets
blended with cacophony of traffic

makes Kolkata different from the others.
One would never forget
an experience in this charming city during the Durga Puja which is the biggest
festival, when the entire city gets decorated with a bridal beauty. The stunning illumination
and breathtaking decoration of Puja Pandals holds everybody spellbound. It
is during this time there is a tremendous in-rush of tourist arriving from different corners of the world to enjoy the
warmth and feeling of this throbbing festive atmosphere.

I have chosen the theme of my site as
Discover
Kolkata. This link leads to various pages where you would find large
amount of information about this vibrant and charming city. The source
of these information are various books, newspapers and the internet.

This is my idea to help anybody
who
wants to send a telephonic message to his near and dear ones at Kolkata.
Off course it is free of
charge.

The maidan which is often referred
as the city's lungs, is an enormous open expanse occupying about 1,300
acres (500 hectares) along the river and is the chief recreation area
used by Kolkattans. |

It is one of the classic architecture representing a mixture of classical western and
Mughal style.

Take a take time off from the hub-bub of the city for short trips to various nearby tourist spots. Only
183 Km from Kolkata and very well connected is Digha
Beach, a romantic holiday beach on the coast of Bay of Bengal.
