Kolkata, day by day

Kolkata was the capital of British India until 1911 and has been the intellectual capital of Bengal for longer, with a marble memorial to Victoria, the oldest museum in India and a lane where the gods are made of river clay. These plans cover the Maidan, the old north and the Hooghly.
