Howrah bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral and other old architecture can be seen in this archival video of Kolkata city. Iconic yellow and black - yellow Hindustan Ambassador taxis are also part of Kolkata traffic. Maruti 800 cars can also be seen among the chaotic traffic. Kolkata, the original capital of culture and the city of joy, has also adapted to a metro culture. When you visit the beautiful capital city, you are sure to visit the Victoria Memorial, the Science City, and the Howrah bridge. The streets that once saw cultural icons like Rabindranath Tagore walking around are now filled with skyscrapers. Even as the city changes, it is also firmly rooted in its rich heritage. Kolkata shows a stark contrast between new and old. Source: thebetterindia.com This footage is part of the broadcast
