Christ Church (Shimla)

India / Himachal Pradesh / Shimla

The most prominent building on the Mall is the yellow Christ Church, reputed to be the second oldest church in northern India.

The clock was donated by Colonel Dumbleton in 1860, and the porch added in 1873.
In Shimla’s 75 years of reigning as summer capital, a long line of officials and other notables of the Raj came to the church for their Sunday prayers. The seasonal influx would be so great at times that space would pose a big problem.
