Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking along the Hooghly River from a river landing or ghat toward Howrah Bridge and Howrah Station, showing wooden boat prows and riverbank stone steps in the foreground, the sweeping river waters, traditional ferry boats, and Howrah Station in the middle-ground, and the colossal steel cantilever truss of Howrah Bridge rising majestically into the soft sky in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the colossal canopies of the Great Banyan Tree and Shibpur Botanic Garden, riverbank vegetation, and drifting water hyacinths.
