The National Library of India is the largest library located in Belvedere Estate, Alipore, Kolkata, India. It is India's largest library by volume and public record. National Library is under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. The library is designated to collect, disseminate and preserve printed material produced in India. It is the largest in India with a collection in excess of 2.2 million books.Before independence, it was the official residence of Governor-General of India. The library operates under the national government’s Department of Culture and is designated to collect, disseminate, and preserve all printed material produced in India. The National Library is a result of the merging of the public library with the Imperial Library—several government libraries. The National Library (1953), then the Imperial Library housed several foreign (British) and Indian titles and was open to the public. It collects book, periodicals, and titles in virtually all the Indian languages while the special collections in the National Library of India house at least fifteen languages.The Hindi department has books that date back all the way to the nineteenth century and the first ever books printed in that language. The collections break down and consist of 86,000 maps and 3,200 manuscripts.

This is proud moment for me that I have rating the Temple of Books and Knowledge of Mosque. Which have height above the mount everest and more deepest than depth ocean. There is millions of books available. This is greatest and grand library of India, which build by British India and upgraded by Indian goverment. I suggest to every Indian student atleast one time in your life visit there atleast one time.
