Bangladesh: Dhaka Christian Cemetery
What sets the cemetery apart from others I've visited is that the architecture of the headstones/graves. Not only are they interesting, they are also quite old. In this latest visit I spotted one that belonged to a bigwig in the old days, with a title.
Unfortunately 4 years separates my two visits and I have not seen any improvement in the graves; neither is there more decay, at least I didn't notice. I just wish that the government would understand the historical importance of this cemetery and would put enough resources (if there is any available) to the upkeep of the cemetery.
More about the cemetery here and here.

Very impressive even in its state of decay. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful cemetery. It has aged in such pleasing ways.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and such a sense of history! Terrific captures!!
ReplyDeleteNature appears to be retaking this old cemetery. It will be a shame if it falls to ruin.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful these crumbling buildings look and how wonderful the light streaming through the upper archways. But I can see they are also vulnerable to the elements and soon could dissolve into dust.
ReplyDeleteThere is a certain kind of beauty surrounding the gravestones which you have captured.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cemetary! And I love all the greenery around. Lovely photos, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletebeautiful gravestones but it makes me sad to see a cemetery in such a state.
ReplyDeleteLovely ruin!
ReplyDeleteYour wonderful images well describe that interesting cemetery in the green.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Maria!
Great captures of the cemetery.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely!
ReplyDeletei love visiting cemeteries, especially the old ones. is that gate in the first and 2nd photos? it looks like a church's campanario. love the grasses, mosses growing on it, the greens are beautiful, too. great find!
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I thought about seeing a movie taken from that spot...kinda like Raiders of the Lost Tomb! Wouldn't that be something. There is so much mood and character there.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful place. It looks peaceful. I like the way the plants are growing amongst the graves.
ReplyDeleteAll that weed and plants make the cemetery look so verdant. Feels like stumbling into some unknown ruins.
ReplyDeleteBut indeed some upkeep need to be done - who knows someone might even step on a snake while there?
Looks like the plants and weeds are taking over the cemetery. I am, for some reason, scared of cemeteries :(

The greenery is so "fresh" that it does not even look like a cemetery, without considering the crosses.
ReplyDeleteThe ruins made it really look so ancient, love it!
to be a cemetery it is very beautiful. And looks pieceful. Worth saving.
ReplyDeletelove the way you captured the site.
ReplyDeletei love reading headstones. tells you a lot about the character of the one who left.
