South Park Street Cemetery

The South Park Street Cemetery holds a dense forest of weathered sandstone obelisks, classical temples, and towering stone urns behind its high brick walls. Established in seventeen sixty-seven, it served as the primary burial ground for British officials and their families during the era of the East India Company. Major General Charles Stuart, a man who famously adopted Hindu customs and commissioned idols, lies beneath a uniquely designed cenotaph here. The site holds the quiet echoes of an empire that once anchored itself in Bengal.
