EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mausoleum of Akbar, Secundra, captured in this 1890 photo print, is a testament to the grandeur and architectural brilliance of the Mughal Empire. Built between 1605 and 1613 in Sikandra, a suburb of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, this magnificent tomb stands as a symbol of reverence for Emperor Akbar. The image showcases the intricate details of the mausoleum's exterior facade. The building's decorative elements are highlighted against a backdrop of people going about their day. This juxtaposition emphasizes both its historical significance and its continued relevance in contemporary times. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where artistry met spirituality. The photograph captures not only the physical structure but also evokes emotions associated with death and burial rituals. This engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier provides us with a glimpse into India's rich history and cultural heritage. It reminds us that even centuries later, Akbar the Great remains an influential figure whose legacy continues to shape our understanding of religion, architecture, literature, and society. Through this image created by an unknown artist from the 19th century, we are invited to appreciate the beauty and significance of this iconic landmark while contemplating its place within Islamic art and Indian history.
