EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and intricate details of Madura's Meenakshi Amman Temple. The image showcases the majestic pillars in the recessed portico of the Royal Gopurum, with the base of one of the four sculpted monoliths prominently displayed. Taken in 1858 by Linnaeus Tripe, this albumen print from a waxed paper negative is a testament to his skill as a photographer. Commissioned by the British East India Company and Madras Presidency, Tripe embarked on a photographic journey that resulted in six albums documenting various aspects of Indian culture. The Meenakshi Amman Temple is an iconic Hindu temple located on the south side of river Vaigai in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. It serves as a sacred place dedicated to Parvati/Meenakshi and her consort Shiva as Sundareswarar. This architectural marvel has been at the heart of Madurai for over 2500 years. The photograph beautifully captures not only the religious significance but also highlights its remarkable architecture. The gopurum, or gateway tower seen here, stands tall and proud against an expansive sky backdrop. This stunning print is now housed at Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada after being gifted by Dr. Shashi B. Dewan and Janet E. Dewan in 1996. It serves as a visual reminder of India's rich cultural heritage and invites viewers to appreciate both its historical importance and artistic beauty.
