South Park Street Cemetery Walk

In this walking tour, we will explore an early colonial cemetery of Kolkata: the South Park Street Cemetery, the largest non-Church cemetery outside Anglo-American world in the 19th century! We will identify different types of grave architecture. Learn about life and death in colonial Calcutta and the graves of its pioneering personalities, and know who the 'most beautiful girl in Calcutta' was in the late 18th century and a hair-raising mission of a British envoy to Tibet.
