EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the year 1858, capturing the grandeur of Chatta Manzil in Lucknow. The image, taken by a British photographer from the 19th century, is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. Chatta Manzil stands proudly amidst its surroundings, showcasing Indian architecture at its finest. However, this particular print reveals a scene of destruction and damage caused during the Indian Mutiny. The remains of what was once a magnificent palace are visible, with parts of it reduced to ruins. The photo offers a glimpse into history as we witness an umbrella tent set up within these damaged walls. It serves as a reminder that even amid chaos and devastation, life continues to find shelter and solace. Ghazi-ud-Din Haider's legacy lives on through Chatta Manzil despite its current state. Built by this visionary ruler between 1769 and 1827, it once stood as a symbol of opulence and power. Through this photograph's lens, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten. It encapsulates both the beauty of Indian architecture and the ravages inflicted upon it during turbulent times. As we delve into this historical artifact captured by LCpl E. W. Jones from Royal Engineers, we gain insight into India's rich past while acknowledging the resilience embedded within its cultural heritage.
