Dalhousie-ডালহৌসি
Dalhousie is a central neighbourhood in Kolkata built around the historic Dalhousie Square, featuring colonial architecture and open green spaces. The area combines wide streets, significant administrative buildings, and busy commercial zones that form the heart of the city.
The neighbourhood was established during British rule and named after a 19th-century viceroy who shaped Indian administration. It grew into a key administrative and commercial hub that embodied British control of the city.
The neighbourhood is well-served by public transport with several metro stations nearby, making it easy to explore the centre. The area is walkable during the day, though streets can get crowded in the afternoon and evening.
