Overview
West Bengal’s synthesis of various languages, religions, customs, traditions, cuisines, and lifestyles adds a distinctive flavour to India’s diversity. Bengal has everything a state needs to prosper, being bordered by the splendour of the Himalayan ranges in the north and sweetened by the sea in the south. The Bishnupur terracotta temples of West Bengal are well known. A well-known tourist destination, Hazarduari Palace is home to the second-largest chandelier in the world and India’s largest staircase.
