Unesco scholarship on the heritage site of Le Havre says that it is ‘located on the English Channel in Normandy’, which was ‘severely bombed during the Second World War. The destroyed area was rebuilt between 1945 and 1964 according to the plan of a team of architects and town planners headed by Auguste Perret’. The site is around 31 miles west of Rouen and at the mouth of Seine.

Le Havre is a recent work of historical importance. But the site remembers its inhabitants who migrated from the Hebrew country known to ancient Indians as Hari-varsha.
