1. Title: South-east View of the Kailasa Temple, Ellora Description: This handcoloured copperplate print showcases a mesmerizing south-east view of the Kailasa Temple, located in the ancient city of Ellora in India. Carved into a single rock, this architectural marvel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and artistic brilliance of ancient India. The temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a masterpiece of rock-cut architecture, with intricate bas-reliefs and sculptures adorning every inch of its surface. In this image, the temple's grandeur is on full display, with its towering structure and ornate decorations. The south-east view reveals the temple's intricately carved entrance, guarded by two large elephant figures. Above the entrance, a relief of Lord Shiva in his Ardhanarishvara form (the embodiment of Shiva and Parvati) can be seen. The temple's walls are adorned with various animal figures, including lions, elephants, and horses, adding to its grandeur. The handcoloured copperplate print, 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, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this ancient temple. The print's vibrant colours and meticulous details bring the temple to life, transporting us back in time to marvel at this architectural wonder. The Kailasa Temple at Ellora remains an enduring symbol of India's rich cultural heritage and a must-visit destination for history and art enthusiasts.
