Victoria Memorial:-

Lord Curzon, Governor General and Viceroy of India during the British period undertook the task of building this the stately and spacious monument as a memorial to deceased Queen Victoria. A sum of rupees 5 lakh was raised from the general people of India for the construction of this awe-inspiring memorial, which captivates the attention of both young and old alike. In 1906, the Prince of Wales and King George V laid down the foundation stone of Victoria Memorial, and eventually, the monument was opened to the public in 1921.“Another charming Taj”, “The finest building in Bengal”, and “A poem in marble” are some of the literary tributes that have been paid to the Victoria Memorial, which overlooks the southern landscape of Kolkata. It is a gravely sinful act not to visit the Victoria Memorial when you are in the City of Joy.

The sparkling white marble beauty, a symbol of the British Raj in India, is one of the most majestic and elegant monuments not only in Kolkata but in the entire country. The grand structure, an epitome of beauty and grace, reflects the brilliant Indo-Saracenic architectural style that breathed in that era. A five-tonne, sixteen-foot bronze statue ‘Angel of victory’–mounted on ball bearings on the dome of the memorial heightens the grandeur and the overall appeal of the monument.
