EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, taken in 1876, showcases the Shrine of the Parbutty Temple at Poonah (now known as Pune), India. The image holds historical significance as it documents the visit of the future King Edward VII to the subcontinent. Perched atop a steep hill in the Bombay Presidency, this temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Parvati, the beloved wife of Shiva. The Prince of Wales, who would later ascend to the British throne, inspected the temple a few days after his arrival in November of that year. Parvati, also known as Gauri or Uma, is the goddess of love, fertility, and the consort of Shiva. The temple is adorned with intricate carvings and statues, including a prominent lingam, a phallic symbol representing Shiva. The photograph captures a group of barefoot men, likely locals, paying their respects to the deity. The temple, a popular tourist attraction in the 19th century, draws visitors from all walks of life, showcasing the rich cultural diversity and religious significance of the region. This engraved print, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was filled with new discoveries. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of India and its vibrant Hindu traditions.
