Wikipedia description:

The National Library of India is a library located in the Belvedere Estate, Alipore, Kolkata, India. The National Library was moved there in 1953 into the estate where the former British Viceroys resided. It is India's largest library by volume and public record. The National Library is under Ministry of Culture, Government of India. The library is designated to collect, disseminate and preserve printed material produced within India. With a collection in excess of 2.5 million books and records, it is the largest in the country. The National Library is the successor to the Imperial Library, which in 1903 was combined with another library, the Calcutta Public Library and eventually became known as the National Library of India after independence.
