Model Answer:
India is a historical country and proudly owns different relics of the past. A 
large number of buildings have been constructed across the country in 
different periods. Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata is one of them. This is one 
of the old buildings in the country. 
Victoria Memorial Hall has been located in Kolkata under West Bengal in India. 


 
Kolkata was formerly known as Calcutta and has served as one of the most 
important posts during the British colonial period. The large white marble 
made building has been dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria and 
presently the house is made as a museum for the people. The museum is now 
under the care of the Ministry of Culture in West Bengal. The building is also 
located by the side of the Hooghly River. Immediately after the death 
of Queen Victoria, initiatives were taken to construct the building in her 
memory that will serve as a memorial for the great queen of the British 
Empire. The proposals of the building contained a large garden and a museum 
and accordingly everything has been constructed. 
The Victoria Memorial was constructed by 1906 to 1921. Some of the finest 
marbles have been used to construct the structure. Now the structure is over 
90 years of old and been standing proudly on the lands of Kolkata. The entire 
complex is dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria who reigned over 
different countries and expanded colonialism in India. The foundation of the 
building was laid by the Prince of Wales in January of 1906 and took over 10 
years to make the structure. The hall was opened to the public in 1921. Though 
it was planned to keep the Memorial Hall at the capital of India, due to the 
transfer of the Indian capital to New Delhi has changed the situation and thus 
the Victoria Memorial remained in one the provinces in India. 
Now the memorial is used for several purposes and the visitors mostly come to 
know about the life of Queen Victoria. The memorial is divided into different 
parts and there are 25 galleries containing the royal relics of the British Empire 
and some of the belongings of the Queen. Among the galleries, the most 
notable are the royal gallery which contains the royal relics of the then time, 
the portrait gallery – containing the portraits of the royal family members, 
national leader gallery where the images and belongings of the national 
leaders of India are exhibited, Calcutta gallery, and arms and armour gallery. 
The memorial also owns some rare collection of books. The Calcutta gallery is 
the latest addition on the Memorial Hall and contains the history of Calcutta 
and its importance in the past. The garden before the memorial is used for 
growing different flowers and plants. The garden is grown on an area covering 
over 60 acres of land and a skilled team of gardeners maintain it. The bronze 
statue of Victoria in the garden is one of the most attractive things here. 
I like the Victoria Memorial for different reasons. Firstly this is one of the old 
and historical buildings in the city. Located near the Jawaharlal Nehru road
this is a large iconic structure in Kolkata. The building is opened for all and 


 
shows the histories of the royal families in Britain. The portraits look like real 
and the galleries are filled with artefacts and historical documents. The design 
of the building is another issue to consider. The design is a blend of the Mughal 
and British architectures which has raised the beauty of the building. The 
entire design is influenced by some other architectural features and white 
Markana marble has been used to build it. After the independence of India
further improvements of the building were made. The building looks different 
in different times of the day. I like it most as it helps us to know about the 
history of British Empire and India.
