Kolkata, the cultural capital of India, is a treasure trove of amazing sights created by the intermingling of colonial architecture and religious shrines with modern day marvels such as the Shahid Minar. The Victoria Memorial, Writers' Building and Botanical Gardens are among the best representation of British colonial architecture in the city. While Dakshineshwar Temple and Belur Math Shrines rank among the top religious attractions of culturally exhilarating Kolkata. On the other hand, shopaholics and gourmands coming to Kolkata from all over the world tend to converge at top shopping/snacking destinations like New Market, Park Street and at the numerous modern-day malls that dot this thriving urban centre.
