EDITORS COMMENTS
North-east View of the Kailasa Temple at Ellora: A Colossal Architectural Marvel of Ancient India This handcoloured copperplate print showcases the awe-inspiring North-east view of the Kailasa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Ellora Caves in India. Drawn and engraved by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844, this illustration offers a unique perspective of this architectural marvel. The Kailasa Temple, a monolithic rock-cut temple, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the largest monuments in the world carved out of a single rock. The temple complex is a testament to the architectural prowess and artistic skills of the ancient Indians, with intricate carvings, bas-reliefs, and columns adorning the structure. In this illustration, the North-east view reveals the temple's grand entrance, guarded by two massive elephant figures. The temple's towering columns and intricate carvings are on full display, with the temple's dome and the surrounding landscape creating a breathtaking scene. The temple's architectural style is a fusion of Hindu and Jain influences, reflecting the religious diversity of ancient India. The handcoloured copperplate technique used in this print adds an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the illustration, making it a valuable historical document and an aesthetic delight. The print also serves as a testament to the global reach of Indian art and culture during the 19th century, as it was produced in Italy and distributed across Europe.
