The bridge is one of four on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal.
the bridge was originally named the New Howrah Bridge, because it replaced a pontoon bridge at the same location linking the two cities of Howrah and Kolkata (Calcutta). On 14 June 1965 it was renamed Rabindra Setu after the great Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, who was the first Indian and Asian Nobel laureate. It is still popularly known as the Howrah Bridge.
As it's the most important bridge in these two City's so I can't found more appropriate title for this Photograph.
