The National Library is located on Belvedere Road in Alipore, is the largest library in India by volume. From 1854 to 1911, the building served as the residence of the lieutenant-governors of Bengal. The building was built in the 1760s, almost immediately its owner became Warren Hastings, the first Governor-General of India. In 1780, he stated that he had sold it, and from that moment until 1854, when it became the official residence of the lieutenant-governors of Bengal, nothing was known about the fate of the mansion. It served as a residence until 1911. Since 1948, used by the library. The first major replenishment was 4,675 publications transported here from Fort William College by Governor-General Charles Metcalf. And today, this snow-white building impresses with its beauty and grandeur.

Swabhumi - The Heritage Plaza

Reviewed By SanjayD2211 - Hooghly, India

Recently I have been to Raajkutir in Swabhumi. Had heard lots of reviews about the place but could not manage to visit . With apprehension during Covid , one fine day we planned a lunch date to Rajkutir. About Location : Well maintained Property of Ambuja with very few people in the restaurant. Safety : With Covid in mind , Place was well Santizied. Tables were arranged with good gap in-between. Cutlery are Santizied and comes in wrapper. You yourself have to open it. Food : We were served herbal tea and it was surely a surprise but very much needed. .My Family liked the gesture. Menu was loaded with Indian and Continental dishes to choose upon. Since we prefer Continental , We started with Jali Kebab , Chicken brochate and a bowl ,Cream of chicken soup. On main Course - Keema Roti , Phulko luchi with alur dum , Ghee Mutton roast , Dhakai Morog Pulao . Very Much recommended. Price : Average Cost of Per item is around Rs 350 . With group of 5 People , it's will be Rs 800/head.
