The nickname for Calcutta (also known as Kolkata) is “City of Joy.” It used to be the capital of India, and is therefore known for its rich cultural heritage and a strong sense of community. The “City of Furious, Creative Energy” welcomed Phileas Fogg on October 25th; within our virtual tour we can visit it over and over again.
