Title:

Small mosque (known as Bansa Mosque) built from material from a Hindu temple, Lalitpur, Jhansi District. Photographer: Unknown

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

Poor quality photograph. North-Western Provinces list p. 123: '...a small masjid 19 feet 4 inches square, built entirely of Hindu materials, or perhaps it is part of a Hindu temple, only slightly altered. It is called Bansa, and bears an inscription in Devanagari letters of the time of Firuz Shah [see print 804]. The erection of the masjid must therefore be later than the date of this inscription, Samvat 1415, or A.D. 1358. The pillars of the masjid apparently must have belonged to three or four different temples, as they are of very different sizes as well as of different patterns.' This last sentence appears to contradict the possibility that the mosque was originally part of a single temple. The use of this building as a mosque was later called into question: see note at Photo 1007/21 (1954).
