- Scope & Content:
-
An antique reservoir near Colar, in the Mysore.
No. XIV. AN ANTIQUE RESERVOIR NEAR COLAR IN THE MYSORE.
This stone cistern, which is very singular in its form, and in its style of decoration, was evidently intended for the purpose of containing water. It is situated near the high road not far from Colar; it was probably at some former period attached to a Choultry, and place of residence of the Bramins, though now nearly left without accompaniments. What remains is in the style of the antient architecture of the Hindoos. The great advantage of such an accommodation to travellers on the parched plains of this part of India, must be obvious, and it displays both the taste and benevolence of its author. Colar is distant from Bangalore in an eastern direction about 30 miles.
