The word Kolkata derives from the Bengali term Kolikata, the name of one of three villages that predated the arrival of the British, in the area where the city eventually was to be established; the other two villages were Sutanuti and Govindapur.
Here are some images of my week spend in Kolkata. In mid October. I put together the scenes from the early hours walking around the streets in Kolkata to the point of sunset.
