People need to come and visit this place to see how big a book market can be. You can also find old and rare books alongside the footpath. This part of Kolkata is also very chaotic, due to presence of hand pulled rickshaws and paddled vans. Presence of Six colleges (Medical College, IISWBM, Calcutta University, Presidency University, Sanskrit College, Jain College) & Three schools (Hindu School - The earlier Hindu college, Hare School, Sanskrit School) represent most of the chaos and also the customer base of this book market. This market is also, the biggest book market, in Asia (in all likelihood).

What an amazing place to walk through !! Marigolds were in abundance throughout the market al ready to be woven into beautiful displays for the forthcoming celebrations on Republic Day. I felt guilty admiring all the flowers and getting in the way of workes going about their business and others trying to deliver chai to the sellers. A great colourful experience !!

The National Library is located on Belvedere Road in Alipore, is the largest library in India by volume. From 1854 to 1911, the building served as the residence of the lieutenant-governors of Bengal. The building was built in the 1760s, almost immediately its owner became Warren Hastings, the first Governor-General of India. In 1780, he stated that he had sold it, and from that moment until 1854, when it became the official residence of the lieutenant-governors of Bengal, nothing was known about the fate of the mansion. It served as a residence until 1911. Since 1948, used by the library. The first major replenishment was 4,675 publications transported here from Fort William College by Governor-General Charles Metcalf. And today, this snow-white building impresses with its beauty and grandeur.

The glowing structure that adorns the streets of Kolkata is the popular Hindu Temple, Birla Temple. Dedicated to Lord Krishna and Radha, the temple is perfect specimen of craftsmanship.
