Kolkata has a tropical climate with hot summers, cool winters, and 1600 mm annual rainfall, mostly during monsoons. In February, during the symposium, the weather is pleasant with temperatures ranging from 18.1°C to 29.4°C.
Barrackpore, a city on Kolkata's northern fringes in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, lies on the Hooghly River's banks. It hosted the first cantonment of the British East India Company, marking its historic military significance.
In 1857, Barrackpore witnessed Mangal Pandey's rebellion against his British commander, sparking the Indian Rebellion 1857. His court-martial and the disbandment of his regiment fueled sepoy unrest, contributing to the historic Sepoy Mutiny.
