Kolkata, the vibrant capital of West Bengal, and its twin city, Howrah, form a bustling urban center divided by the Hooghly River, famously linked by the iconic Howrah Bridge (Rabindra Setu). Kolkata, a city rich in colonial history, is known for its cultural heritage, heritage buildings, and artistic spirit, while Howrah serves as a crucial railway hub and gateway, home to the busy Howrah Station. Together, they represent a dynamic blend of old-world charm and modern Indian life, with the Bengali culture, festivals like Durga Puja, and a love for literature and art connecting the two sides across the majestic bridge.
