Description: | Photograph from the Curzon Collection, of a fortified outwork at Dig, Rajasthan, taken by the studio of Priyalall & Company in c.1900. Dig was established as the first capital of Bharatpur state by the Jat king Badan Singh (ruled 1722-33), and the fort was built by his son Suraj Mal (ruled 1733-63) in 1730. It was square in plan, and was surrounded by ramparts 8 km long which were extensively reinforced with bastions and pierced by 10 gateways. This view shows a partially ruined fortified outpost with battlements and high fort walls in the distance. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Priyalall and Company | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
