I watched Zane's all videos on India and I can assure, Kolkata one is the best!

@@anon-tlv3399 what can we do man..this is the problem every of big cities

[@xijinpig8982]

​@@koushikbhattacharjee6762 Wtf its one of the youngest. Kolkata is a British built city, like Mumbai, Chennai and Surat. Other nearby cities to all these, like Dhaka, Pune, Bengaluru are all older and built by native kingdoms.

[@IncogStats]

One of the best cities in India. Good infra with a tint of old heritage, not much honking and pollution comoared to Mumbai and Delhi, peope here are the best.

[@bouncingplaces]

Wonderful to know! I must go to Kolkata now! Just have to figure out the best time to visit 😄😄👍👍

[@kritidiptadatta5556]

​@@bouncingplacesmid March till May end No No due to summer, June July monsoon (depends whether you like torrential rain or not), August September normal hot weather with little rain nothing much happens during this time, From September end till February it's festival time.. From Durga Puja to Christmas and Diwali it's just awsome.. you can search in youtube and decide.

@@bouncingplaces if you want, come during the first week of October. We are having Durga Puja (one of the most celebrated festival in Eastern India), and it is at par with Diwali or Holi. Also Durga Puja is a UNESCO heritage 😊 (declared in 2020) so I hope you will enjoy your visit!

[@creativerse6447]

Kokata and the entire west bengal is famous for it's hindu heritage. We have 13 main pujas (festivals in which we worship different Gods) in 12 months. One the the biggest here is Durga Puja which itself is recognised as a UNESCO heritage. If you consider, this is at par with Diwali and Holi with the rest of India. It is good that you visited here but i would like more foreigners visit here during Durga Puja and it gets the worldwide coverage 😊 (In durga puja, we worship Goddess durga, and it is the most important in our bengal tradition since we mostly belong to the Shakti sect of Hinduism where Female form of God is the most devine being)

One thing you shoud know Zane, Kolkata hosts the oldest football derby in Asia, that is Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. Both of them are one of the oldest clubs in the entire world. Football is in our blood. When the rest of the country is immersed in cricket, we can proudly say that we are the lone flagbearers of Indian football. You can not find a single peole talk about cricket here because in our streets we play football just like Brazil.

[@noel4962]

Have u ever watched a KKR match or India's match at Eden's 😂😂...Dude no one in the world cares about the history of ur football clubs, forget the world these clubs are not even relevant outside bengal lol 😂😂

I live in Kolkata. I am also a great fan of your tarot readings. Am so happy that you liked Kolkata.

[@rupanjan]

Compared to other British colonies, when you visit Calcutta you can tell by the monuments they built that the Crown really wanted to hold the place for a long time. But sadly I don’t think everyone back in Britain shared the same opinion and a lot of atrocities were committed in the region. And its true that compared to other Indian cities it’s a very safe city, even at night time for women. Best time to visit is November/December imo. Cooler temps and between October (Durga Puja festival) and New Years, the whole city comes alive with decorations and great vibes everywhere

[@Sayantanthenazi9]

Brother I am from kolkata. I just wanted to say that please do not eat paratha with biriyani rice. This paratha is called lacha paratha. It can be eat with any mutton or chicken gravy dish. But never with biriyani rice. Authentic way to have Kolkata biriyani is with mutton chap [ its a mutton dish available in any biriyani restaurant] u can also try lacha paratha with mutton chap.

There are atleast 10 more pujas in west bengal in which various forms of Goddess Durga is worshipped. Like Kali Puja, Jagatdhatri Puja. And the good part is that one for every specific puja, a specific city is renowed. Like for example, Naihati is famous for its Kali Puja, while Krishnanagar for its Jagatdhatri Puja.

From tarot to here Zane.. didn't know you started this channel. It came to my feed. I follow you from 2020. A lot of bad things are happening in Kolkata. From demographic changes to political violence among many others but this city has a lot of things to offer. Wish this city could go back to a cleanlier time - roads, and famous places were much clearer. Food is still great and people who like literature and art can still find some solace. Btw, Hanglatherium offers the best biriyani in Kolkata. You can order it from Swiggy or can find the restaurant near the South City Mall in South Kolkata.
