states before succumbing to the Guptas. With the fall of the Gupta Empire,

more.

●Kolkata is visited by thousands of national and
international tourists every year. People come here to
enjoy the colorful art and culture of the City of Joy. Other
than the scenic grandeur, the city also offers a peep into
the British India, through some ancient architectural
buildings. The celebration and festivity of the city are well
known. People from round the globe come here to watch
the celebration of Durga Pooja and other regional fairs,
like Gangasagar and Kenduli Mela. The best time to visit
Kolkata is in its festival season i.e. around October,
when the atmosphere is colorful, with pleasing weather
and festive mood all around.

60. ●As the summer of Kolkata is very hot and
humid, it is nearly impossible for tourists to
roam around with ease during this season in
the city. In monsoons, the torrential rains can
perturb the normal lifestyle of people here, so
tourist expeditions are a bit difficult. The best
and the most favored season for coming to
Kolkata is winter i.e. October to February.
This is the best time for visiting Kolkata as
there is minimal humidity and perspiration.
Even the temperature is in a pleasing range,

sure to bring light woolens with you, as
you may need them during late nights as
well as early mornings. However, do not
overstuff your bag with too much winter-
wear, as you will not need much of them in
the city. The temperature never dips below
10°C, so there is no need of heavy
woolens as well. You will also find this
weather apt for taking pleasant walks near
