The Chalees Satoon in the Fort of Allahabad on the River Jumna.. Artist(s): Daniell, Thomas (1749-1840)
- Scope & Content:
-
The Chalees Satoon in the Fort of Allahabad on the River Jumna.
No. VI. THE CHALEES SATOON, ON THE JUMNA SIDE OF THE FORT OF ALLAHABAD.
The Chalees Satoon, or the Forty Pillars, is a pavilion attached to the palace of Allahabad, and was erected by the Emperor Akbar. It is built of grey granite and freestone.
The fort of Allahabad is favourably situated on the point where the rivers Ganges and Jumna unite. The numerous vessels to be seen on these rivers, particularly on the former, give great spirit to the scenery.
The buildings in general here are in the grandest style of Mahommedan architecture.
Allahabad is five hundred and fifty miles N. W. from Calcutta, and eighty-three westward from Bernares.
