Day 9 : 13th June, 2019
Planned for local tour. Took Ola taxi and visited Kalighat Kali temple. It is one of the Skathi peeth. Beware of money grabbing pujaries there. We were not allowed to pray near kali. You pay them you can stand there. Or else you need to move. But somehow Kali gave us very good Dharshan and we came out happily.
Then we went to Victoria Memorial Hall. Huge palace buit in memory of Queen Victoria with white marble . Very beautiful. The guide explained us everything we need to know. Gave us a clear picture of East India Company . The photos and paintings showed how Kolkatta was years ago.
Had a wonderful time enjoying it . Outside atmosphere was so humid that we sweat a lot. Came to a hotel had lunch and went to see Howrah Bridge. One marvel it is. From Howrah took a Ferry across Hoogly river to Kolkata Millennium park. Spent some time and then went to New Market. Not much to purchase . Took a cab to Joka had dinner and stayed in a hotel there for the night.
Total Kms. Travelled :Not much as we hired a taxi (73 Kms)
Total Toll paid :Nil
