EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Chief Gopuram of Combaconum: Notes on the Ancient Temples of India,' was taken in the late 1800s and is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of India. The image, from 'Illustrated Travels' by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880, showcases the grandeur of the gopuram, or temple tower, of Combaconum, located in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India. The gopuram, a pyramidal structure adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, stands proudly as the entrance to a Hindu temple. Its towering height and ornate decorations reflect the deep-rooted religious and cultural significance of temples in Indian society. The image also reveals a tranquil courtyard scene, where devotees may have once gathered for prayer and reflection. Henry Walter Bates, the author and photographer, traveled extensively throughout Hindoostan (India) during the 19th century, documenting the ancient temples and their architectural wonders. This photograph is a valuable record of the past, offering a glimpse into the history and artistry of India's religious structures. The print, now held in the collection of The Print Collector, continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the architectural and cultural treasures of India.
