A love for arts and culture lies at the heart of Kolkata

Hardly is there a Bengali in the city who cannot recite Tagore! Be it dance or music, hardly a child even from a middle-income background not taught an art form! It is in the genes, baby, in the genes.
Kolkata got this title due to various reasons. While one reason is the number of Europeans imprisoned in the Black Hole dungeon here, Goddess Kali (associated with colour black) is also widely worshipped in the city.
The 'City of Joy' earned its nickname because of its unfettered enthusiasm for its culture, traditions, literature, history, food and more. Kolkata is the perfect amalgamation of old-world charm and modern India. Every nook and corner of this city is filled with stories that are bound to mesmerise and charm you!
