Tomb of Ramadheen Teelucksingh (1882-1914), Couva, Trinidad This magnificent marble monument is located in the Teelucksingh family enclosure in Couva. Ramadheen was son of Teelocksingh (1839-97) of India and elder brother of Sarran, the well-known politician. It is exquisitely detailed and executed in flawless white Carrara marble which has a fine molecular composition which lends itself to minute detail in sculpture. Michaelangelo , the great Renaissance artist, favoured this marble as did his predecessor Donatello and later, Bernini. This statue appears to have been a fairly popular grave monument among the wealthy in England and Continental Europe, as replicas of similar vintage can be seen in Kensal Green cemetery in London and Pere Lachaise in Paris. It must have cost a huge sum in 1914 when it was installed. Remember, this was the era before the motor-truck, so it would have been brought possibly by boat as far as the landing place at Orange bay, less than a mile away , and then hauled here by oxcart. It is a symbol of the wealth of this family and one of the most opulent grave markers in the island, rivaled only by a few in Lapeyrouse Cemetery, belonging to old families of the white planter elite.
