Kolkata was a really interesting place and you could definitely pick up on the influence of the earlier British Occupation.

Victoria Memorial, situated in the middle of the city among beautiful gardens:
St. John's Cathedral, I think the oldest in the city:
A lot of the beautiful buildings constructed during the British Raj are now in really bad shape as seen here:
We took a walk through an artisans' colony where they work to make thousands of these clay idols for different festivals:
Goddess Kali, for whom the city is named:
Artisan working on some clay moulds:
Crossing Horwah Bridge:
Standing in front of Victoria Monument:
The tomb of Mother Teresa:
