EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Temple of Jain in Calcutta, located in the state of Bengal, India. The temple stands tall as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and architectural brilliance of this region. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this magnificent structure showcases intricate building elements, exquisite decorations, and various sections that highlight its grandeur. Its towering spire and pagoda-like appearance make it an awe-inspiring sight for all who visit. The photograph was taken in 1965 by Quilici, Folco, providing us with a glimpse into the past while preserving the timeless charm of this sacred place. It beautifully captures every detail - from religious statues adorning its walls to delicate sculptures that adorn its interiors. The artwork itself dates back to the late nineteenth century when it was created during India's colonial era. This adds another layer of historical significance to both the photograph and the temple itself. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported into a world where non-Christian art takes center stage - showcasing Buddhist influences through vases and other objects found within these hallowed walls. Alinari has masterfully preserved this moment in time without any commercial intent or association with any specific company. Instead, they have allowed us to appreciate and admire not only their exceptional craftsmanship but also pay homage to one of India's most treasured architectural marvels. In conclusion, this print serves as a visual gateway into an enchanting realm where spirituality meets artistic brilliance – inviting us on a journey through time and culture within Asia's vibrant landscape
