City of Palaces

Kolkata was once called the city of palaces, but those days are long gone. Today the name of the city might conjure up images of poverty, chaos, and  urban dysfunction. But that’s not completely fair. I’ve always found the city to be challenging, but it’s also an exciting  place where people,  animals, and even divinities  compete for a place  in the life of modern India.
