Agram Cemetery Bengaluru, Karnataka

Located at lower Agram Road, Bengaluru. Under the Army area, not accessible to public. There were several graves dating as far back as 1808, after the cantonment was shifted to Bangalore in 1806 from Srirangapatnam. The site is of about 4.87 acres and has 824 graves including many great men, soldiers, wives, children and pastors. It contained interesting cenotaphs and epitaphs. The Cemetery was disused from around 1870, and was abandoned after the 1920s. It is not maintained and is in ruins. The site is under threat due to vegetation growth and water-logging. Even if structures are not restored, the landscape, including drainage, should be done on top priority.
