The history of this city is also very interesting. The present day city was earlier composed of three villages - Sutanati, Gobindpur and Kalikata. This city has also remained the Capital of India during the reign of the Britishers. 

Kolkata today has a huge population. The Bengal's Film Industry is based in this wonderful city. It has lots of attractions for tourists.

It has the wonderful and grand Victoria Memorial, the beautiful Howrah Bridge and so much more to see. Saraswati Puja is also celebrated in this city with great joy. Rabindra Sangeet by the famous Rabindranath Tagore is loved by all in Kolkata. And when you visit this city during the Durga Puja, you will experience joy in every corner of the city. During the Pujas, the whole city is lighted up. Beautiful pandals are put up after months of effort. The idols of Goddess Durga and other deities look beautiful!

The people of Kolkata are sweet and friendly. Bengali, according to me, is one of the sweetest languages that I have ever heard. The people of Kolkata are passionate lovers of sport. We have the beautiful Eden Gardens to host the cricket matches. Football is also a very famous sport in Kolkata.
