91 years of the Dharm Shala

The recently renovated Berbice Dharm Shala

This year the Dharm Shala Home of Benevolence For All Races is celebrating its 91st year of existence. It was founded by the late Pandit Ramsaroop Maraj, and is currently overseen by his son, Mr Harry Ramsaroop, and his grand-daughters. Below are two early photos in relation to the home, as well as two from Berbice.
