EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Madura. The Great Pagoda, Mootoo Alaghur and East Gopurum from Tank, 1858" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. This stunning albumen print captures the majestic Meenakshi Amman Temple, a Hindu temple dedicated to Parvati/Meenakshi and her consort Shiva as Sundareswarar. The temple complex is not only a spiritual hub but also the heart and lifeline of this historic city that dates back over 2500 years. With its intricate architecture and towering gopurams (gateway towers), ranging from 45-50 meters in height, it stands as an awe-inspiring symbol for the Tamil people. In this particular image, we are treated to a breathtaking view of the temple's grandeur from across the sacred Porthamarai Kulam or "Pond with the golden lotus". The composition showcases the Great Pagoda along with Mootoo Alaghur and East Gopurum rising majestically against a clear sky. This photograph was taken by Linnaeus Tripe in 1858 during his commissioned project for the British East India Company and Madras Presidency. Tripe's work resulted in six albums capturing various aspects of South Indian landscapes, architecture, and culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved through waxed paper negative technology, we can't help but be transported to another era where spirituality met artistic brilliance amidst one of India's most revered temples.
