Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, is the second largest city in India and is home to over 11 million people. This city is situated at about 1500 KM away from Hyderabad , Geographically it is located in the East of India, contagious to Bangladesh (just 100 KM far) and this is situated on banks of River "Hoogly".


Kolkata is known in different names - âthe cultural capital of India â, âthe city of joyâ, and âthe city of processionsâ.
