This monument has gone around the sun 372 times and it still mourns for the dead, for the deceased and holds many stories to itself. These are photos from the Dutch cemetery, located at Pulicat Lake near Chennai. The Dutch were the first settlers at Pulicat using the lake as a means to navigate and transport goods. There are stories of outbreak of epidemics during the late 1600's which caused many deaths in the town which included babies and children. This cemetery stands as a remembrance of the lost souls, kings and queens, soldiers and diplomats, the rich and the poor.
This cemetery comes under one of the important the heritage sites of Archaeological Survey of India
