Title:

Sculptured slab with figure of Ganesha, Devikot. Photographer: Ravenshaw, John Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Archaeological Photography

'This Gunesh was dug up in the vicinity of the tomb of Sultan Shah and the pools of Amrito and Jivot. It now forms an object of worship under a tree close to Gungarampore thannah. It is not the one referred to in page 625, Martin's India. The image there mentioned was a few years since destroyed by fire in the town of Dinagpore. It has been replaced by a duplicate made of mud; some small portions only of the original remain lying about.' (Descriptive note of the photographs of ancient architectural remains in Kantonugger and Bannugger, Bengal pub. proc., no. 26 of October 1871, IOR/P/156).
