Description: | Ink wash drawing by an anonymous artist working in the Calcutta style, c. 1780-1785. Inscribed in Persian: (above the cupola) 'andarun-i sabha mandap'; (below the right doorway) 'in darvaza-i huzad'; (below the central doorway) 'bar rah-i darvaza-i annapurna birun' (Inside the assembly hall; this is the door at the side(?); the way to the door of Annapurna from outside.).
This drawing is actually of two different parts of Hindu temples. The first section shows the interior of a dome raised on four columns with a chain and bell hanging from its crown. The second section is of a long exterior wall, into which three doors give access, two of them revealing rows of columns. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Anonymous | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
