The Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, India, is an architectural marvel and a symbol of the city's colonial past. Constructed between 1906 and 1921, this grand white marble building was dedicated to Queen Victoria and serves as a museum and tourist attraction today. Designed by Sir William Emerson in an Indo-Saracenic revivalist style, the memorial blends Mughal and European architectural elements. It is surrounded by lush gardens and features a vast collection of artifacts, including paintings, weapons, textiles, and manuscripts, offering a glimpse into India's rich history and the British Raj era.
