Jain Temple. Calcutta has been called a city of Palaces, and it has certainly a number of imposing buildings, including the Temple in the picture. The city extends for six miles or more along the Hugli, and on its banks the panorama unfolds it self - Temples and Gardens and Palaces, the Port, the Shipping and the great Fort William, the most important stronghold in India.
