Pillars of victory at Sondni. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Letterpress description reads: 'The huge monolithic pillars were lying scattered half burried[sic] in earth in a field at Sondni near Mandasor. They are now picked up and arranged properly on a strong masonry platform. Excavations of the surrounding ground disclosed inscriptions reciting the glories of king Yasodharman who flourished in the middle of the sixth century after Christ and who expelled the white Hunas out of Central India. These pillars would appear to have been set up by Yasodharman to commemorate his victory over the Hunas'.
Subjects = Indian architecture; Indian architecture (Hindu); towers of victory
