Configuration of massive boulders known as Bhimsen's Cooking-pot, near Dapthu. Photographer: Peppé, Thomas Fraser
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
'The continuation of the same hills [see note at print 2855], and where the Koel river runs round their base, and at the point where the rock slopes down into the river, three large boulders block the path. These stones are said to have been collected by the popular hero 'Bheemsen' for his 'choola' or cooking place, which the arrangement of the three boulders favors, as they closely resemble the three stones used by travellers to rest their pots on while cooking' (descriptive notes by T.F. Peppé accompanying photographs, India pub. proc., 18 February 1871, IOR/P/505 p. 1644). India Museum no. 1075.
