1. Kumartuli

With Durga Puja drawing near, photographers are lining up with their skills at Kumartuli. Artisans, crafting the Devi with all holiness and piousness and vivid colours creates an everlasting impression on your photograph. 

2. Armenian Ghat

One of the oldest Ghats built in Kolkata, the 17th-century Armenian Ghat happens to harbour vintage and nostalgia. Ruined temples marking the entrance and the swarm of people bathing by the dilapidated arches and walls of Armenian Ghat is a picture to savour. 

3. Bow Barracks

The last surviving colony of the Anglo-Indians, Bow Barracks has its own share of history and charm. The place lights up during Christmas where festivities are very much old-school. On other days, it's the red contrast against the blueish skies. 

4. Queen's Way & St. Paul's

How can miss the Queen's Way, Maidaan, Victoria Memorial and our dear old St. Paul's Cathedral? I am sure there's no one left in this city who hasn't bombarded their Instagram stories and feeds with pictures at these places. In fact, after the advent of The 42, even Maidaan is now crowded with photographers. 

5. Zakaria Street

Surprised? You may not believe but Zakaria Street is an insane historic destination in the city. While the Nakhoda Masjid marks the splendid beauty, the street is a paradise for food bloggers as Kebabs, Bakarkhanis, Biryanis and everything Mughal can be found at its best here.
