Summary: The main credit title of this beautifully photographed travelogue includes credits for narration and sound recording. But since the print available with the National Film Archive of India is in the silent full gate format, it may have been planned and shot as a silent film and later released with an added sound track in the early talkie era. The introductory title states: ‘The Eastern Bengal Railways respectfully dedicates this film to the people of Bengal whom it has served for 80 years carrying men, women and children far and near for their business, pleasure or religion as the case required’. The film then takes the viewer on a journey through Bengal. Beginning with the famous sights of Calcutta, we leave by train from Sealdah Main Station first for the Darjeeling hills dominated by the superb Kanchenjunga, and then to some of the major temples of north Bengal.
