Description: | Photograph of an ivory palanquin from the Kalugachalamurti Temple at Kallugumalai, Tinnevelly District of Tamil Nadu, taken by a photographer of the Archaeological Survey of India around 1900-01. Kalugumalai is famous for the Vattuvan Kovil temple, a rock-cut temple from the eighth-ninth centuries from the Pandya period. Behind the rock from which the temple was excavated there is a steep cliff carved with rows of Jain figures. Another temple, called Kaluchalamurti Kovil, is dedicated to Murugan and dates from the 18th century. This view shows an ivory palanquin from that temple. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Archaeological Survey of India | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
