Victoria Memorial

if you come to Kolkata you must visit Victoria Memorial. The Victoria Memorial is a large marble building in Kolkata.

Victoria Memorial would give a run for money to Taj Mahal if it weren't for the colonial tag attached to it.The building is well maintained and the surrounding gardens well manicured. The use of Greek columns on the eastern side lend a beautiful touch to the building.The evening Light and Sound show is slightly disappointing as the show has not been updated in the last two decades. The play of lights on the Memorial with the lighted Howrah bridge in the background make for a good view and are not to be missed.The tickes for the Light and Sound show are available at the east gate of Victoria Memorial and very reasonably priced. Summer and Winter timings are different. The shows are in two languages-Bengali and English. Photography is allowed.A trip to Calcutta is incomplete without a trip to Victoria Memorial and a buggy ride like the roaylty itself outside the memorial. Make sure you bargain for the ride by keeping an ear open for the amount the locals are paying.

Kolkata is one of the few major cities in India. It is worth a visit to India. The traffic is chaotic, but the environment is not as bad as expected. Roadside snacks are also very attractive and lingering.

Victoria Memorial in Kolkata is a well-maintained building with a beautiful atmosphere and a relaxing environment. It's a must-visit for people who want to experience the Victorian era in the modern world.
