VICTORIA MEMORIAL MUSEUM
Maidan, Kolkata, West Bengal, India
Another relic of the British Raj in India, the Victoria Memorial is located in the heart of Kolkata, in West Bengal. This white marbled opulent structure was built in memory of Queen Victoria to celebrate her 25 years of rule over India and is almost a replica of the Victoria Memorial in London. Victoria Memorial is an iconic structure that is synonymous with the city of joy. The memorial is surrounded by a lush green and well maintained garden, which spreads over 64 acres and has numerous statues and sculptures in it. A sixteen foot tall bronze statue of victory, mounted on ball bearings at the top of the memorial, serves to heighten the overall appeal and grandeur of the entire complex. Victoria Memorial is breathtaking and marvellous, especially at night, when it is illuminated.
