Sivala Ghat [Benares]. Photographer: Bromochary, Brajo Gopal
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View from the riverside looking towards the fortified buildings overlooking the ghat. 'The fort which stands upon the banks of the Ganges was the residence of Raja Cheit Sing and to this day, possesses all the freshness of new-built structures. On the upper part of the northern wall of the fortress, are five small windows in a row, from one of which Raja Cheit Sing, amid the imminent danger of being captured by the British force, had made his escape. Now, the entire building is the property of the Government, and is inhabited by a branch of the old Taimur family, the head of which was the late King of Delhi.'
