PLACES OF INTEREST IN KOLKATA

Monument : The Monument was buit in honour of Sir David Octerlony who fought the Nepalese War (1812-1814) to victory. The tower measures 55 mts. The mighty river Hooghly beckons at the northern end of the Maidan. Towards the river, is the Old British Government house now called Raj Bhavan. Built in 1803, modeled on Lord Curzon's home Keddleston hall, Derbyshire, England. There are many rare works of art and other items. Entry is restricted.

Howrah Bridge : A Miracle of engineering skill, the Howrah Bridge is a huge cantilever bridge supported by two piers 270 ft. high from the road level. There are eight vehicular ways and two footpaths on the 71ft. wide bridge.

Vidyasagar Setu : A second bridge on the river Hooghly. It has a cable-stayed design in the lines of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco. On one side is the General Post Office, a majestic specimen of Edwardian architecture built on the site of the original Fort William. On the other side stands Writer's Building. The dulcet whispers of history echo through the old mansions of Hindu Aristocrats in North Kolkata. One such old house, Tagore Houce at Jorasanko, is the birth place of Rabindranath Tagore, India's greatest modern poet. Converted to Rabindra Bharati University, it is now a centre for Indian Classical Fine Arts.
