- Title:
- Ramesvara Cave, Cave 21, Ellora. Artist(s): Anonymous
- Scope & Content:
- Folio 2. Wash drawing of the interior of Rameshvara, Cave 21 at Ellora. Inscribed: 'Rameshwur. Ellora. Septr 15'. Although the artist is unidentified, these drawings are of some interest since they show the state of the Ajanta and Ellora Caves soon after the Royal Asiatic Society had brought them to the Company's notice in 1844. Robert Gill had been deputed to make a record of Ajanta in 1846 and was presumably on the spot when these sketches were made. This drawing depicts part of the interior of the verandah with massive pillars with suare and fluted shafts ornate with scrollwork and carved medallions. The sanctuary doorway flanked by large guardian figures of dvarapalas can be seen behind the pillars.
