The Victoria Memorial

Victoria Memorial Kolkata

That’s the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, a memorial for Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom which was built between 1906 and 1921. It’s located in downtown and it’s just about 1km away from the hotel I’m staying.

The weather was looking good this morning and I took a short walk along streets to reach this famous landmark in Kolkata. It’s actually a museum inside. Majority of the exhibits are century old paintings of famous landmarks and places in India, together with some canons and guns used by the Bengali soldiers last time.

Nothing much really interests me, except to snap some photographs from outside as cameras are banned inside the memorial.

I’m now in my final leg for this trip. 3 more weeks in Kolkata (hopefully they don’t ask me to go the city nearby) and I’ll be home and ready for my next dive trip.

And after that, it’s going be a looooong 6 months away.
