EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a Deodar wood gate, dating back to 1842. The gate is believed to be crafted by the Afghan School in the 19th century and is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The historical significance of this artifact traces back to the first Afghan War (1838-1842) when Ghazni was occupied. During this time, the gates of Mahmud of Ghazni's tomb were mistakenly identified as the renowned Gates of Somnath, an ancient Hindu temple in India that Mahmud had looted in 1025. In a momentous event, Lord Ellenborough, then Governor-General of India, ceremoniously returned these gates to various Princes and Chiefs including those from Sirhind, Rajwarra, Malwa, and Guzerat. However, upon closer examination later on, it was discovered that these gates were actually created in Ghazni itself rather than being authentic relics from Somnath. This revelation adds another layer of intrigue to their story. Through this evocative image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's collection, viewers are invited into a visual journey that unravels tales of conquests and cultural exchanges between nations. It serves as a reminder that history can sometimes be shrouded in mystery and misinterpretation but also offers opportunities for deeper understanding and appreciation across cultures.
