Manmandil Ghat [Benares]. Photographer: Bromochary, Brajo Gopal
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View from the riverbank looking towards the Observatory overlooking the ghat. 'This Ghat is principally remarkable for the Old Observatory, situated upon the banks of the river at this spot. This lofty building gives a noble appearance to the Ghat and commands a fine view of the river. The approach to it is not from the Ghat, but from a street leading to it, at a considerably higher elevation than the foundations of the edifice. The Observatory was erected by Raja Jay Singh, who succeeded to the ancient Rajas of Ambheri, in the year 1693 A.D. Now most of its astronomical instruments are out of order.'
