Just like any other Indian city, the intellectual capital of India, aka kolkata - it has also become the melting pot of tradition and modernity.

1. A house inspired by the neoclassical architecture. Popularly known as MARBLE PALACE. It contains large quantities of Western sculpture and Victorian furniture, paintings by European and Indian artists, and other objets d'art.
