EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the interior of Dher Warra, a collection of rock-cut Hindu temples nestled within the Caves of Ellora in Maharashtra, India. Created by renowned English artist George Cattermole in 1834, this image is a testament to the rich history and architectural wonders of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The temples at Ellora, dating back to the 6th to 10th centuries, showcase the intricate fusion of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain influences. In this print, we see the interior of one such Hindu temple, adorned with intricate carvings and handicrafts. The columns, pillars, and walls are covered in elaborate designs, reflecting the deep spiritual significance of this place for Hindus. Commander Robert Elliott, the British military officer who accompanied Cattermole on his journey to India, is believed to have commissioned this work. The print is part of the 'Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea' series published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1835. The meticulous attention to detail in the print, from the hand-carved columns to the precise shading, highlights the artistic mastery of Cattermole and the importance of archaeological exploration during the 19th century. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travelers from far and wide marveled at the wonders of the ancient world. The interior of Dher Warra, as captured by Cattermole, stands as a reminder of the enduring allure of history and the power of art to preserve it.
