October, the beginning month of Winter in Kolkata
October brings winter in Kolkata. It is the season of festivities and recreation.
The streets of Kolkata are filled with people with their loved ones.
Winter is the best time to visit Kolkata, as it's comfortable for walking around heritage areas, markets, and enjoying street food without the heat and humidity.
The mornings are a poem. Grey mist hugs the ground as if reluctant to let it go. Hawkers pushing their rickety wooden carts cry out in hoarse voices, their breath visible like little ghosts of the air. The city wakes slowly. Tea stalls come to life with the clink of earthen bhaanrs, where steaming chai is poured with practiced flair, and sipped with cold hands warmed by the rim of the cup.
