The Colorful street Canvas of Kolkata

Kolkata is a city with a great love for art, and you see it not just in museums but right on the streets. This street art is like an open-air gallery for everyone. It’s often found on the walls of old buildings, metro stations, and under flyovers.

A big part of Kolkata’s street art is political messages and social commentary. Artists often use walls to talk about important issues, or political parties use them to share their messages.
