Bengal the Land of Rivers and Jute Trade
Bengal is described as a land spanning the Bay of Bengal to the Himalayas with a dense, multilingual population and a mix of marshy plains and hills. Calcutta thrives as a port and trade hub for jute tea and rice while the Sundarbans shelter Bengal tigers. Darjeeling links highland markets with lowland Bengal in a mountain trading post scene.
