Title:

General view of statues in the colonnade of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple, Bheraghat, Jabalpur District. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

The colonnade is described and the statues listed in A. Cunningham, Report of a tour in the Central Provinces in 1873-74 and 1874-75 (A.S.I. vol. IX, Calcutta, 1879), pp. 62-71. Bloch's list describes the subject as the Gauri Samkara Temple, but but this more correctly refers to the central shrine within the colonnade. A note in Bloch's list, referring to prints 1228-1237 generally, reads: 'These statues represent various çaktis or matrs, and are of interest on account of their bearing ancient labels telling us of the exact meaning of each figure. The plates, however, do not enable me to identify all of them with the description given by Cunningham, whose readings of the inscriptions, moreover, are incorrect in almost every case.' Photograph taken during the Western Circle survey season of 1893-94. Another copy of this print at Photo 1009/2 (1405).
