Scope & Content:

BURKE, CHARLES HYDE (c.1802-?)

Burke was a draftsman in the Surveyor-General's office. He was in Calcutta with MacKenzie in 1822 and was a sub-assistant surveyor in Bulandshahr in 1829.

---------------------

WD2229-2240

12 drawings of rock-cut temples perhaps at Choragudi (Kistna district); including 4 plans and 6 elevations of the caves and 2 drawings of sculpture. 1846.

Deposited c.1848.

Note: It has not been possible to trace these caves with certainty. 'Rownah Mandah' suggests a corruption of 'Ravana Mandir', and 'Chargoodree' may possibly be Choragudi, a village near Gudivada (Kistna district), where many rock-cut shrines occur. MacKenzie sometimes noted the existence of cave temples that he had had no time to investigate. It is possible that Burke, who had worked for MacKenzie, later returned to one of these sites.

The inscriptions on WD2232 and 2237 suggest that these drawings were published in 1848. No such publication has however been traced.
