Hello friends, today I am going to talk to you about the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, a famous place in India. I hope you like it very much.

Victoria Hall is an ancient monument of Calcutta. Victoria Memorial is established on 57 acres of land. Calcutta has a great reputation for its reactivity. Another major feature of Kolkata in India is the Victoria Memorial.

One of the landmarks of Kolkata, Victoria Memorial, spread over an area of ​​57 acres, is a grand British-era structure built entirely of white marble. Constructed in the Indo-Saracenic revivalist style, using a mix of British and Mughal elements, the memorial draws influences from Islamic, Venetian, Egyptian and Deccani styles. Dedicated to Queen Victoria of England, it was constructed between 1906 and 1921. Today, the memorial has been turned into a museum that has 21 galleries housing 28,394 artefacts including paintings, memorabilia and manuscripts.
