The Statue of Queen Victoria , Bangalore , is located at Queen 's Park , next to Cubbon Park , Bangalore Cantonment , at the junction of 3 roads , at the border between the Cantonment and the Bangalore Pete . The statue was unveiled on 5 February 1906 by the then Prince of Wales , George Frederick Ernest Albert ( who later became King George V ) . The statue was raised out of funds raised by the residents of the Bangalore Civil and Military Station and contributions made by Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV , the Maharaja of Mysore . This Statue of Queen Victoria is one of the five of the original 50 statues of Queen Victoria which were installed in British India , to still stand at its original location . The statue has blossoms of jacaranda falling around . On the other end of Queen 's Park is the Statue of King Edward VII , Bangalore .
Bangalore , officially known as Bengaluru ( [ ˈbeŋɡəɭuːɾu ] ( listen ) ) , is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka . It has a population of over ten million , making it a megacity and the third-most populous city and fifth-most populous urban agglomeration in India . It is located in southern India , on the Deccan Plateau at an elevation of over 900 m ( 3,000 ft ) above sea level , which is the highest among India 's major cities . Its multi-ethnic , multi-religious , and cosmopolitan character is reflected by its more than 1000 Hindu temples , 400 mosques , 100 churches , 40 Jain Basadis , three Sikh gurdwaras , two Buddhist viharas and one Parsi fire temple located in an area of 741 km² of the metropolis . The religious places are further represented by the proposed Chabad of the Jewish community . The numerous Bahá'ís have a society called the Bahá ' í Centre . In 1537 CE , Kempé Gowdā - a feudal ruler under the Vijayanagara Empire - established a mud fort considered to be the foundation of modern Bengaluru and its oldest areas , or petes , which exist to the present day . After the fall of Vijayanagar empire in 16th century , the Mughals sold Bangalore to Chikkadevaraja Wodeyar ( 1673-1704 ) , the then ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore for three lakh rupees . When Haider Ali seized control of the Kingdom of Mysore , the administration of Bangalore passed into his hands . It was captured by the British East India Company after victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War ( 1799 ) , who returned administrative control of the city to the Maharaja of Mysore . The old city developed in the dominions of the Maharaja of Mysore and was made capital of the Princely State of Mysore , which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the British Raj . In 1809 , the British shifted their cantonment to Bangalore , outside the old city , and a town grew up around it , which was governed as part of British India .
Cubbon Park , officially called Sri Chamarajendra Park is a landmark 'lung ' area of Bengaluru city , located ( 12°58′N 77°36′E / 12.97°N 77.6°E / 12.97 ; 77.6 ) within the heart of the city in the Central Administrative Area . Originally created in 1870 , when Major General Richard Sankey was the then British Chief Engineer of Mysore state , it covered an area of 100 acres ( 0.40 km2 ) and subsequent expansion has taken place and the area reported now is about 300 acres ( 1.2 km2 ) . It has a rich recorded history of abundant flora and fauna plantations coupled with numerous impressive and aesthetically located buildings and statues of famous personages , in its precincts . This public park was first named as Meades Park after Sir John Meade , the acting Commissioner of Mysuru in 1870 and subsequently renamed as Cubbon Park after the longest-serving commissioner of the time , Sir Mark Cubbon . To commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyars rule in Mysore State , in 1927 , the park was again renamed as Sri . Chamarajendra Park , in memory of the 19th-century ruler of the state Sri Chamarajendra Wodeyar ( 1868-94 ) , during whose rule the park came into existence . The landscaping in the park creatively integrates natural rock outcrops with thickets of trees , massive bamboos , with grassy expanse and flowerbeds and the monuments within its limits , regulated by the Horticulture Department of the Government of Karnataka . The predominantly green area of the park has many motorable roads , and the well-laid-out walking paths running through the park are frequented by early morning walkers and the naturalists who study plants in the tranquil natural environment . Tourists visiting this park in the city of Bengaluru have nicknamed the city itself as 'Garden City ' . The importance of the park to the city 's environment is best stated by two urban architects who have won the national competition to design 'Freedom Park ' .

Kolkata ( /kɒlˈkʌtə/ , Bengali : [ kolkata ] ( listen ) , also known as Calcutta /kælˈkʌtə/ , the official name until 2001 ) is the cultural capital of India and the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal . According to the 2011 Indian census , it is the seventh most populous city ; the city had a population of 4.5 million , while the suburb population brought the total to 14.1 million , making it the third-most populous metropolitan area in India . Kolkata Megalopolis is the area surrounding Kolkata Metropolitan city with additional population . Located on the east bank of the Hooghly River approximately 80 kilometres ( 50 mi ) west of the border with Bangladesh , it is the principal commercial , cultural , and educational centre of East India , while the Port of Kolkata is India 's oldest operating port and its sole major riverine port . The city , nicknamed the City of Joy is widely regarded as the cultural capital of India and as of 2019 , six Nobel Laureates have been associated with the city . Recent estimates of Kolkata Metropolitan Area 's economy have ranged from $ 60 to $ 150 billion ( GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity ) making it third most-productive metropolitan area in India , after Mumbai and Delhi . In the late 17th century , the three villages that predated Calcutta were ruled by the Nawab of Bengal under Mughal suzerainty . After the Nawab granted the East India Company a trading licence in 1690 , the area was developed by the Company into an increasingly fortified trading post . Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah occupied Calcutta in 1756 , and the East India Company retook it the following year . In 1793 the East India company was strong enough to abolish Nizamat ( local rule ) , and assumed full sovereignty of the region . Under the company rule , and later under the British Raj , Calcutta served as the capital of British-held territories in India until 1911 , when its perceived geographical disadvantages , combined with growing nationalism in Bengal , led to a shift of the capital to New Delhi . Calcutta was the centre for the Indian independence movement ; it remains a hotbed of contemporary state politics .
