The City of Joy. Kolkata, ‘the city of joy’, is the capital city of the Indian state, West Bengal. Kolkata alias Calcutta is full of life and bustle, verging on the chaotic as traditional occupations rub shoulders with ultra modern industries. Kolkata is India’s second largest city. It is a city with a great deal of charm-its imperial monuments, strong cultural and religious flavour leaves an indelible impression on the visitor. Called Calcutta in British times, Kolkata still conjures up images of squalor, poverty and urban disaster. Don't believe the hype. India's third-largest city is defined not by its poverty but by the energy, imagination and zest for life of its people.
