- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View from a neighbouring hill looking down onto the tank and across to the hill on whose summit can be seen the massive Jain Gommateshvara image. Caption notes read: 'On this hill, named Indra Betta, rising about 400 feet above the village below, is the colossal statue of Gomatesvara, 57 feet in height, surrounded by sacred buildings. An inscription at the foot of the image shows it was erected by Chamunda Roya, probably in 983. In the valley below is the splendid stone tank shown in the picture. Sravana Belgola is the chief seat of the Jain sect in Mysore and home of their principal guru.'
