Dus Awtar, Caves of Ellora
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph print by George Cattermole, showcasing the breathtaking Hindu rock-cut temple caves located in Ellora, Maharashtra, India. This image is taken from the second volume of "Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea," published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1835. The photograph presents a stunning view of the intricately carved caves, which are renowned for their architectural grandeur and historical significance. The caves, believed to have been carved between the 5th and 10th centuries AD, are home to deities from Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The central focus of this photograph is the Dus Awtar or the 'Ten Avatars of Vishnu' cave, which is adorned with elaborate carvings of the ten incarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu. The photograph captures the essence of the caves' indoor ambiance, with the natural light filtering in through the entrance, casting intriguing shadows on the hand-carved walls. The male figures, possibly Commander Robert Elliot and his companions, including Miss Emma Roberts, are seen standing in awe of the magnificent architecture, adding a sense of scale to the image. The intricate carvings, which depict various gods and deities, are a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of ancient India. This photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the architectural and artistic achievements of the ancient Indian civilization. It is a must-have for anyone interested in archaeology, history, art, and architecture. The photograph's timeless beauty continues to inspire and captivate viewers, making it an essential addition to any collection.
