Kolkata Bike Tour Day 2

Nice escape into the Botanical Gardens and the ‘worlds largest Banyan tree”

the Khaligat Temple, special and kind of crazy place for Hindus.

Daredevil Keith would have a smoke break every few hours and I would join him.

Getting ready for the Holi festival of color.

Not going to forget the Kolkata Malik Ghat flower market any time soon. Wow.

The marvel of Kolkata that is the Howrah bridge

Finally we made our way to the Kumartuli Idol-makers where you can see their craft on a large scale.

I’m sure this is a famous site but Keith neglected to tell me what it’s called… his traffic prowess was unquestionable, his knowledge needs a little enhancement… what Marble Palace?

Fortunately a little research reveals that it is called Birla Mandir and it is from the 20th Century despite it’s ancient appearances.
