Title:

View of north-east corner of the Amba Bhai Temple, Kolhapur. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

Henry Cousens, 'Revised list of antiquarian remains in the Bombay Presidency ... originally compiled by J. Burgess' (Bombay, 1897), p. 283: 'The temple of Ambabai or Mahalakshmi is in the middle of the town...The main portico of the building is of two storeys, and is built of black stone from local quarries...The greater part of an older and smaller temple still exists with its own columns and sculpture embedded, as it were, within the larger building, and in the smaller subsidiary shrines in the courtyard we find still more of the old work. All this is genuine Chalukyan masonry, but it is now so much encrusted with whitewash that the minute details of the carving are obliterated. The liberal coatings of crude whitewash with which the shikaras are covered throws them into violent and painful contrast with the well-finished black-stone work which they surmount. The walls outside are covered with a multiplicity of mouldings, and with figures in niches along the upper portion of the lower storey.'
