People usually visit the cemetery on all souls day
to pay their respects to their near and dear ones. I make it a point to walk
around and have a look at all the graves, some colourfully decorated
while some make it simple with just a single bouquet
It’s a pleasure to walk around the St Sepulchers cemetery in Pune.
I saw these small graves which were unmarked (probably
infants) but someone had left some flowers on the graves
Some sit down and painstakingly arrange each and
every flower
I noticed this dog with a collar. Was he spending a
few minutes of solitude with his master?
Some of the graves looked uniform, (with similar
decorations)
If you have the time and patience, you get to read
some good and meaningful writings on the tombstones.
I noticed that on the older tombstones, the cause
of the death was also mentioned.
I was fascinated by the statue of an angel behind
this lady
I don’t think the present day craftsman can make anything like
this in marble or stone.
The next time I must make it a point to go early.
The noon sun is not the right time to click pictures.
