Title:

General view from the north-east of the Udayeshvara Temple, Udayapur. Photographer: Beglar, Joseph Daviditch Melik

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

With the mandapa in the foreground and the sanctuary tower beyond, showing rich sculptural detail overall. The print displays a web of black lines over its surface, due to crazing of the collodion surface of the negative. Described in detail in J. D. Beglar, 'Report of a tour in Bundelkhand and Malwa, 1871-72...' (A.S.I., vol. VII, Calcutta, 1878), pp. 82-87: '...this temple is singularly beautiful both in plan and in elevation, and although large, the parts are so well proportioned, that it does not look large, and it is only on measurement that the real size is realized; the execution is fully equal to, if not superior, to any other ancient temple I have seen...'
