Come let’s
explore the sightseeing options in west Bengal when you travel with cheap air tickets from Mumbai to Kolkata.
The options are as follows
Kalighat temple: this is an ancient kali temple
located in the city of Kolkata and is the holiest spot for Hindus. The most
interesting aspect of the temple is architecture but more interesting than the
architecture are the jostling pilgrim queues that snake into the main hall to
fling hibiscus flowers at a crowned, three-eyed Kali image.The temple is hidden
in a maze of alleys jammed with market stalls selling votive flowers,
brassware, religious artifacts and pictures of Kali.
Victoria memorial:
this is an incredible monument proportioned of white marble which was
built for the beautiful Indian princess and is considered as the India’s one of
the finest buildings. As you will enter you will find the statues of the King
George V faces his wife Mary. If you don’t want to enter still the building is
worth speculating from afar.
Belur math: Set very attractively amid palms
and manicured lawns, this large religious centre is the headquarters of the
Ramakrishna Mission, inspired by 19th-century Indian sage Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa, who preached the unity of all religions and is worth visiting when
travelling with low airfare from Mumbaito Kolkata.
Ghum:
Ghum is another important religious center located at the distance of 7
kms from the city of Darjeeling. It is home to the number of colorful
monasteries. The best way to access that place is through toy train. YigaCholingGompa
, the region’s most famous monastery, has wonderful old murals and is home to
30 monks of the Gelugpa school.
