Description: | Photograph of the façade of the old mosque at Tribeni in West Bengal, taken by Joseph David Beglar in c. 1872-73. This image shows the arches which have been partly bricked up and the overgrown trees which lend the building a picturesque aspect. The ruined mosque is situated twenty yards to the west of Zafar Khan's dargah (tomb), which at this time was a weekly pilgrimage site and also the location of an annual fair. Beglar wrote in his report for the Archaeological Survey of India (1872-73) that the nearby dargah had been built using material that had once been a Hindu temple. The mosque is constructed using baked brick with masonry facing and pillars of locally-quarried black basalt. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Beglar, Joseph David | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
