Monoliths at Lalpet, near Chanda. Photographer: Ritter, Molkenteller and Company, R.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
General view of the reclining monoliths, with Indian figures standing in the background. Letterpress continues: 'There are seven monoliths shown in this picture. On the right are representations of a fish, a cobra (Nag), and a tortoise. In the foreground is the figure of Devi, and immediately above it to the left are two more figures of Garur and Maroti, and above those again is a bull. The date of these sculptures is not exactly known. These monoliths are chiefly remarkable for their immense size, and are prettily situated in a glade surrounded by a jungle of large tamarind trees. The measurements of the figure in the foreground are 18 feet x 26 1/2 feet and will give some idea of the size of the rest'. The monoliths are known as Rayappa's Idols.
