Cemeteries in Himachal are getting a facelift to attract foreign tourists here to trace their ancestry.
Thousands of graves in Himachal Pradesh, some two centuries old, stand witness to the British Raj. But their lyrical epitaphs have faded, ornate tombstones are cracked and weeds have taken over. Given that these graves attract a lot of foreign tourists tracing their ancestry, the Indian Government has now decided to repair and beautify these cemeteries. It’s also preparing an inventory of historical churches and burial grounds, which will soon be made public to help tourists in their search.
