EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Church of England in the picturesque cantonment town of Chakrata, located in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. Established in the early 19th century, Chakrata served as a British military garrison town and remains a popular retreat for tourists today, nestled in the lush greenery of the Himalayan foothills. The Church of England, with its distinctive Gothic architecture, stands proudly amidst the scenic landscape, a testament to the rich cultural and religious diversity of India. The church, built circa 1910, is believed to have been constructed to cater to the spiritual needs of the British soldiers and their families stationed in the area. The peaceful surroundings of the church, with its tall, stained-glass windows and intricately carved wooden doors, exude an aura of tranquility and spirituality. The towering trees and rolling hills in the background add to the picturesque setting, creating a scene that could easily be mistaken for an idyllic English countryside. Despite being located close to the border with Chinese Tibet, the Church of England in Chakrata remains an enduring symbol of the Christian faith in India. The photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of colonial rule and religious diversity that continues to shape the cultural fabric of India today.
