Title:

View of the mahamandapa of the main temple, Bhanpur, Puri District. Photographer: Beglar, Joseph Daviditch Melik

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View looking along the façade of the mandapa, with the tower of the main shrine partly visible in the background. See J.D. Beglar, Report of tours in the south-eastern provinces in 1874-75 and 1875-75 (A.S.I. vol. XIII, Calcutta, 1882), pp. 102-103: 'The principal temple in the place is within a high walled court-yard on the edge of a deep small dirty pool of water...The temple is built in muchthe same style as the one at Chandeswar, but the Mahamandapa is certainly either an altogether late adition or has been built to replace the original one which tumbled down; it is, looking from the outside, a plain long dark hall with few mouldings and no sculpture, and thickly plastered over; the confined space of the court-yard prevented a proper photograph being taken from the interior, while the height of the inclosure walls prevented a similar attempt from the outside.'
