See here. The page headline reads: Church services in South Asia. It continues: "This month we introduce you to some churches in Nepal, Ladakh and New Delhi. When we meet for our Sunday services, our brothers and sisters in Nepal have already met because their service day is Saturday. In India, the time difference is generally 4.5 hours. A variety of music can be experienced in the church services. The church rooms are usually carpeted and the congregation sits on the floor. As you can see from the photos, it is not always warm in India and Nepal; you have to dress warmly. Please think of our brothers and sisters in Christ when they celebrate their services and have fellowship."

The Moravian Institute in Rajpur, an institution of the worldwide Moravin Church at the foot of the Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, celebrated its 60th birthday in 2023. On April 2, 1963, Eliyah Thsetan Phunthsog, a pastor of the Moravian Church from Leh (Ladakh), opened a school here for twelve Tibetan refugee children together with his daughter Zhindey Kundan. From small beginnings, the large Moravian Institute has grown into a boarding and day school of the Moravian Church for over 500 boys and girls, which is highly regarded far and wide. Today, it is not only Tibetans who study here, but also other ethnic groups such as Hindis, Nepalese, Gurkhas, Nagas, Ladakspas, Kanjars and Banjaras. The school campus has been repeatedly expanded and modernized. There has also been a church in Rajpur since 2009. Herrnhuter Missionshilfe maintains a sponsorship program for the children of this school.
