Dhunkur. Photographer: Egerton, Philip Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View of the monastery and other buildings, perched on the mountainside over looking the cliffs: 'July 18th...The fort, monastery, and village of Dhunkur are most picturesquely situated on a bluff of conglomerate limestone, which is connected with the uplands by a narrow ridge, considerably lower than the fort. The rock, where not in some way protected from the elements, gets washed into sharp conical pinnacles, which have a peculiar appearance. The fort is nothing but an ordinary house of rather larger dimensions than usual, crowning the summit of the height, with the remains of a small mud wall on the west side, erected it is said by the Sikhs. There is no water procurable on the hill, but low down on the east side is a curious kind of covered way, like a big drain, extending to the rivulet below.' (p. 24).
