West Bengal primarily reflects the traditional culture and heritage of the Bengalis. West Bengal, the state of culture, sweets and sports offers an articulate diction to the term "Unity in diversity". The various divisions of West Bengal stand as the logo of dream and heritage whilst bearing the hangover of the British colonialism in ancient Bengal.

West Bengal districts are grouped under 3 divisions. In fact there are 19 districts in this state.
The administrative allocation of cities of West Bengal is as follows -
Burdwan Division - This division includes the districts of Bankura, Bardhaman Birbhum, East Midnapore, Hooghly and Purulia. While some of these districts are popular for craftsmanship, others are well known for their culinary items and desserts.
