About this ebook
(The story is in English)
The author happens to visit Kolkata along with his grandson – Mr. Shubham Kumar and his granddaughter – Miss Monika Kumari in the month of April 2014 in connection with their examination.
After the examination is over they desired to visit some historical places of Kolkata.
The author took them to Howrah station and from there to Koila Ghat by fairy motor boat and while crossing the Hooghly River he advised them to view the Howrah Bridge from a close distance with their own eyes clearly. On seeing the gigantic construction of the Howrah Bridge without pillars, they were very surprised. They wanted to know many things.
The next day in the morning the author visited Kali Ghat – Kali Mandir by sub-railways. The author stated one by another the whole history of the temple.
On the same day the author took them to Maidan where the Victoria Memorial is situated. They got down at the Maidan Metro Station and from there they went to Victoria Memorial and saw many things.
The author has described these places with keen interest to his grandson and granddaughter as to how they were built, when they were established and by whom.
Really all these places are worth seeing and whosoever happens to visit Kolkata must see these historical places of British regime/rule.
