Five railing pillars, with dancing girls standing on dwarves Mathura. Photographer: Caney, W.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Photograph of the five pillars, finely carved in deep relief, standing side by side in a garden. These were discovered in the neighbourhood, though not excavated, by Cunningham during his excavations of 1871-2. See A. Cunningham, 'Report for the year 1871-72' (A.S.I. vol. III, Calcutta, 1873), p. 20: 'A more important discovery [than the elephant capital seen in print 837] for the sake of ancient Indian art was that of no less than five large pillars of a Buddhist [Jain?] railing in an almost perfect state of preservation. These were placed in a small dharmsala near the Balbhadra tank, a short distance to the north of the Kankali mound, and close by the Buteswar mound, in which it is believed that they were discovered.' Pl. vi is based on this photograph.
