EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Carved Horse Pillars in Ranganatha Temple, Srirangam, taken in 1869 by Samuel Bourne. This remarkable image showcases the intricate craftsmanship of these 16th-century pillars that adorn the faAzade of the Sheshagirirayar mandapa within the temple complex. Located on an island in the Kaveri River, Srirangam is a significant part of Tiruchirapalli city in South India. The Ranganatha Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu stands as a testament to ancient Indian architecture and religious devotion. These horse pillars are made from granite and depict riders atop rearing horses, symbolizing power and strength. The photograph highlights not only their sculptural magnificence but also provides a glimpse into Hindu culture and tradition. Each column tells its own story through skillful carving, representing equestrian art at its finest. Bourne's expert photography allows us to appreciate every detail with clarity, showcasing both the grandeur of these statuesque horses and their significance within Indian mythology. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how human hands transformed stone into lifelike creatures frozen in time. This historical photograph serves as a window into India's rich heritage while reminding us of our shared humanity across cultures and centuries. It is truly a treasure from Bridgeman Images' private collection that continues to inspire awe even today.
