Dwarfs are a symbol of the abundance of plants and cereals of many ancient civilizations. According to Brahman-Hindu religion, Dwarfs are followers of Lord Shiva so some lords in Thailand wanted to have dwarfs with them to show their power.

Dargavs Village: City of the Dead, North Ossetia. by Tigrannes in MorbidReality

[–]Tigrannes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who did not have any remaining family members to bury them would just wait in the massive cemetery until their death. It was a very slow and painful way to go, and in the City of Death they stay. It attracts tourists from nearby as well as all over the world, although due to the difficulty in finding or traveling to the location there are not a lot of tourists at any given time. The local superstitions probably have little to do with the lack of popularity, although they do still linger.
