Benares, The Durga or Monkey Temple, Late 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite albumen print captured by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne during the late 1860s. The photograph showcases the stunning exterior of a temple located in the ancient city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, which is also known as Benares or Kashi. The temple, popularly referred to as the Monkey Temple, is a significant architectural and religious landmark in this holy city. The image highlights the intricate facade of the temple, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details. The temple's name is derived from the presence of hundreds of monkeys that inhabit the temple complex. The temple's main entrance is framed by a grand set of stairs, leading up to the temple's entrance. The steps are filled with devotees, some of whom can be seen in the photograph, making their way up to the temple, adding a sense of activity and vibrancy to the image. The temple is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Hinduism in India. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British were documenting the wonders of India for the world to see. This photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the importance of this image in preserving the history and cultural heritage of India and its religious practices. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, history, or religion, and is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the world's cultural heritage.
