First Impressions of Kolkata, India! 🇮🇳 (India's Most Underrated City?)
Today I'm visiting the historic city of Kolkata in West Bengal, which was the ancient capital of Modern India in the 1800's. Join me as I explore the streets, as well visit as the Mallick Ghat and flower market and the famous Hooghly River. Jai Maa!

Kolkata was one of the best and rich city in India before the takeover of Communist party as state govt. Now it's still good but lost it's glory.

Kolkata is The Living City, because it has a "soul". None of the cities in India have got that vibe which Kolkata has, but the current scenario is responsible for its decline
If you are in Kolkata, don't forget to visit the suburbs like Serampore which was a Danish Colony and Chandannagar which was a French colony. It's a 30 min train ride from Howrah station.

Welcome to India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 West Bengal
The way you stayed calm in that heat is really commendable. Really India needs to do a lot better in terms of trash management. Great video.
Who said it’s underrated ? Which one is then overrated ?? I am an Indian staying in India since 50 yrs , never got this approach …. all cities have their positives and negatives brother , all the best 😊

Love the videos. Ancient history is 1500 years ago or more, so colonial India is not ancient. I’m a stickler for language, I find it makes communication more clear.
I am glad to see you back to India. Hare Krishna

best time to explore these old architectures is to walk these places in the sunday morning. 😌

Kolkata was 2nd most important city in British Empire after London. i've heard from old people kolkata was like europe of india. after independence The Communist government destroyed & now pro islamic government is ruining this city.
Thank you for visiting and liking my city- Kolkata. Watching from Dubai.
It was the first capital of India during the British period but after independence New Delhi became the capital of India... The essence you can feel there ❤❤ mighty Bengalis
You have visited only the old part of Kolkata. Do visit the new modern part of Kolkata (New Town, Rajarhat, Salt Lake)
Welcome to kolkata india❤🎉
Please visit mayapur iskon temple in west bengal
Im from Kolkata, been in Perth for 18 yrs. Good on you for visiting the City of Joy

the pandit is cool ..after giving tika he is like ' ha boliye '
By the way Vishuddha I really do enjoy seeing all those beautiful architectual styles you showed us. I saw other nice architectual styles in Udaipur and Amer near Jaipur as well as in Jaipur. What to say of Old Varanasi on the ghats and alleyways. The GopRo will usually overheat as it happened to me in hot places in Mexico and Colombia.
Dear it's nt at all underrated city,it is the most popular city rich for our festival, culture,living,foods,etc and generosity plz explore the whole city and our historic glory den give such options
❤️❤️❤️ U from Kolkata 😍😘❤️👌

The Howrah Bridge was built by the British in the 1940s.
Great episode bro'...thanks for showing my town is such an insightful way...kudos! One curious fact about the Howrah Bridge is that it has no nuts or bolts...entirely constructed by reveting metal shafts! Watching fr Delhi
Ram Ram Brother ❤
Kolkata is a beautiful city but the problem is a lot of waste in the Mallick Ghat and surrounding areas. Also, I heard that Howrah is one of the dirtiest place in India. Truly a bad government in WB. Anyway, love from Bangladesh. Jay Shri Krishna.

Yes, the Hindi speaking people and the Bihari people always hinder the cleaning process in Howrah, because they thrive in the filth. Their deiti is called modi or something.

Bro, you should hold the camera outwards so we can see what you’re seeing.
Where are you from?
It's quite a crazy place - how to say, dramatic place. Theres a lot to see and taste, for a month, but the air can be bad. And the traffic is dangerous when crossing a street. The taxis will drive over you.
Gothic architecture or Victorian architecture

What you are calling "ancient" is actually considered a beginning of modern India in the Indian History buddy. Our ancient dates back to Harappan and Indian Valley civilization.

What is that Tattoo signifying, which is tattooed on your throat. It's a Hindi letter "Ha" "Ha" is represents "H" in english language. This has same pronunciation. So it's that mean, "H" in a triangle!?

Actually kolkata ka e part aisa hi rahe kiunki is part ko aisa rakha gaya taki e Sare architecture istarha hi rahe. Aur new building industrial area is sides me Newtown me kara ja raha he. Abhi ke time political pblm he but growth thoda thik thak he pahele se karib 11-12% ke aspas. IT abhi 10% share he but 2025 me 30% ho jayga Deep sea port kibhi tender pass hocuka he adani kam suru karega bahat jald clean bhi accha hua Newtown- kolkata india ka 1st clean metro city bana kuch din pahele.
