HI DEAR SHRESTA HERE PLEASE FOLLOW ME FRNDS AND THANK MY ANSWER TOOO ❣️❣️❤️❤️❤️

The city's former name, Calcutta, is an Anglicized version of the Bengali name Kalikata. According to some, Kalikata is derived from the Bengali word Kalikshetra, meaning “Ground of (the goddess) Kali.” Some say the city's name derives from the location of its original settlement on the bank of a canal (khaal).
