EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard image captures the Water Gate of the historic fortress of Srirangapatna, also known as Seringapatam during British rule in India. The Water Gate holds significant historical importance as it is where the legendary Indian ruler Tipu Sultan met his demise during the Siege of Seringapatam in 1799. Tipu Sultan, the brave and cunning ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, put up a valiant resistance against the British East India Company's forces led by General Sir David Baird. The siege lasted for months, and during the final assault, Tipu Sultan was killed while attempting to escape through the tunnel-like Sally Port, located near the Water Gate. The passage leading to the Sally Port, where Tipu Sultan's body was found, is now overgrown and choked with vegetation, adding to the mystique and intrigue surrounding this pivotal moment in Indian history. The image of the Water Gate, with its intricate carvings and arches, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The postcard, part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Indian subcontinent was undergoing significant political and cultural transformations. The image, taken in the 1910s, provides a fascinating perspective on the historical significance of this site and the enduring legacy of Tipu Sultan.
