In India, as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Week 19-25 November, the Surat Science Museum holds an exhibition that spotlights the Armenian graves of the city of Surat. The exhibition has already caught the attention of the local residents who attended. The exhibition, run by the Surat Science Museum has a photo gallery of the Armenian graves with the English translations beside them.
Until recently the Armenian graves were only ever seen with their Armenian script. Had it not been for a "pure chance" moment, it is unlikely the exhibition would ever have taken place. Photographs of the graves were posted by Arpine Gyulinyan to the Indo-Armenian Friendship NGO Facebook page and were spotted by Liz Chater, a UK-based family history researcher.
