What people say, in short
Magen David Synagogue comes up again and again on locals' lists of Kolkata's lesser-explored and must-visit sights, and one commenter singles it out as an offbeat stop. It sits in the Barabazar area, and one commenter suggests pairing it with the nearby Armenian Church and Nakhoda Masjid as a short detour. The main caveat is time: one visitor notes it becomes a bit of a detour and plans to go only if time permits.
