Kolkata, formerly the glorious capital of British Raj, now commingles the old with the new and takes pride in its rich cultural, literary and religious essence. The guided walk encompasses a significant area known as White Town in Old Kolkata. Anchored around Lal Dighi, a water tank catering to the area’s drinking water needs, this is the city’s oldest square. The square houses some of Kolkata’s earliest and most magnificent buildings. These splendid structures, still in operation today, offer a peek into the city’s British colonial opulence and power. Strolling through this region narrates the evolution of this significant British base, tracing its journey from its inception to contemporary times.
