What was once a village is today a hub of activities with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The city of Calcutta or Kolkatta as it is called is in largest city in the State of West Bengal, bordered by the Bay of Bengal. The Marble Palace, Victoria Memorial, Belur Math and Academy of fine arts find their home right here. This city is not as ancient as Delhi, but it is largely a British creation and was the capital of British India. Rich in literature, art, drama, music and sports, this city has been known to rule over others with its exuberance.
Investments made in the real estate here in Calcutta would be the wisest choice as it is the commercial nerve center of the East. The homes and streets have strong Victorian influence which is visible even today. With long beaches in Puri and Bhubaneshwar, this state is a tourist’s delight.
