EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Rock Cut Temple in Ellora, Maharashtra, India, as it stood in 1878. Created by the talented artist Edward Arthur Heffer, this artwork showcases the remarkable architectural feat of carving a series of caves into the rocky hillside. Stretching over one and a quarter miles long, these caves are divided into three sections dedicated to Buddhism, Hinduism (Brahmanical), and Jainism. Dating back from the 5th to the 10th century, these ancient rock temples hold immense historical significance. In this image, figures appear minuscule when compared to the grandeur of towering pillars that dominate their surroundings. The vibrant colors bring life to every intricate detail of this mesmerizing interior pattern. The photograph offers a glimpse into religious practices and cultural heritage during the 19th century in India. It beautifully portrays how people engaged with spirituality within these sacred spaces carved out of solid rock. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this watercolor print is not just an archaeological treasure but also an artistic masterpiece capturing both architecture and costume design from that era. As you gaze upon this image, let yourself be transported back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence and devotion embodied within Ellora's famous rock temples.
