Quiz of the Day - 19 July 2012

A dry question for today's daily quiz.
shovon chakraborty daily quiz question answer
This Indian city got its name from its riverbank that was covered with stones. During the British rule, ships were docked at the bank of the river, flowing by the side of the city, and the riverbank was covered with stones to help dock ships and vessels. A market developed at the bank and its surrounding areas became a major place of economic activity. Colloquially, natives started to call the place by a name, which when translated, meant "a bank covered with stones". The city also hosted the first ever game of modern Polo, which was played between two teams of Britishers. Identify the place.
