The nine are:
* Shivshakti Annapurna Temple, Barrackpore

* Stuart Saheb’s (indigo planter’s) bungalow (nilkuthi), Barrackpore
* St Bartholomew’s Cathedral, Barrackpore

* Prabartak Sangha headquarters, Chandannagar
* Nandalal Bhar’s house, Chandannagar
* Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery, Bhawanipore, Kolkata

Special measures would be taken to maintain these and make them more popular among tourists, both domestic and international.
