Welcome to City of Joy

Kolkata, the City of Joy, is a vibrant blend of culture, history, and heart. Once the capital of British India, still echoes the charm of colonial architecture alongside bustling modern life. From the majestic Howrah Bridge to the tranquil ghats of the Hooghly River, every corner tells a story. It’s the land of Tagore, Satyajit Ray, and Mother Teresa, nurturing art, literature, and compassion. Here tradition meets change, and every stranger is welcomed like family.
