Tank and Surajkund Temple, Gaya. Photographer: Peppé, Thomas Fraser
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking down onto tank and temple, the latter largely obscured by trees. 'Another of the principal places of pilgrimage is the Sooruj Koond and temple. This is only a short distance from the Vishnu Pad. The temple is one of the oldest in Gya, and evidently belongs to Buddhist times. Inside there is a valuable inscription dated in the era of Buddha's death or Nirvan, which is of great value, as fixing the date of that event. The vestibule is formed of two double rows of pillars 10 feet in height,and five pillars in each row. A great number of mutilated statues are let into the walls on either side.' (descriptive notes by T.F. Peppé accompanying photographs, India pub. proc., 18 February 1871, IOR/P/505 p. 1637). India Museum no. 977.
