OVERVIEW
Situated in the West Bengal state, Calcutta was the former capital of British India. It is a city which combines modern trends with a quiet life.
Calcutta boasts the country's first Metro railway and also preserves buildings which are more than a hundred years old. Due to its condition of British capital, its architecture is a blend of occidental and oriental styles.
Calcutta is a cultural and religious city: many of India's leaders live here. Activities include fine arts, music, dance, theatre and writing.
Some of Calcutta's specialties are the 'Tant' sarees, the Baluchari work, silk, leather, the Bankura Horse, brass figurines as well as gold and silver jewellery.
Tantuja is the retail outlet for the West Bengal State Handloom Weavers Co-operative Society limited. Shopping on the road side shops is also one of Calcutta's attractions. The China Town is famous for its Chinese goods.
The climate is very much influenced by the sea. The best time to visit Calcutta is between September and March.
