KOLKATA:

The day began with slightly cloudy and rainy weather, but as the sun emerged, so did the crowds, filling the city's favourite spots.

One of the major attractions, the Alipore Zoo, saw a record-breaking 69,152 visitors, surpassing last year's Christmas turnout of 64,000.

Among the visitors, around 9,943 opted for the Yatri Sathi service to purchase tickets.

"I want to see a dinosaur!" exclaimed 10-year-old Ananya, who, despite her wish, settled for the sight of a majestic tiger.
