Distant view of the hill fort at Udayapur. Photographer: Beglar, Joseph Daviditch Melik
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Described in J.D. Beglar, Report of a tour in Bundelkhand and Malwa, 1871-72... (A.S.I., vol. VII, Calcutta, 1878), p. 82: 'To the south of the city, at a distance of about half a mile, is a hill of a very remarkable appearance; a huge mass of rock rises sheer and abrupt from the top of the conical hill below, presenting at a distance the exact appearance of a fortified castle. This, however, is not a castle, but a natural solid mass of rock, thoug it is evident that it could, and probably was, made use of as a fort. At the foot, or rather some little way above the foot of the cone, however, there runs a wall built of huge uncemented stones, 18 feet thick at the present crest...The entire place is deserted, and the inhabitants of the adjoining city could give me no information whatever regarding it; it has not even a name that I could hear of...A photograph of this remarkable hill has been taken, and with the aid of a magnifier, the lines of fort walls may be seen; the view was taken from the north-west gateway of the great mandir [the Udayeshvara Temple] which will presently be noticed.'
