Title:

General view of the Kopeshvara Temple, Khedrapur. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

Henry Cousens, 'Revised list of antiquarian remains in the Bombay Presidency ... originally compiled by J. Burgess' (Bombay, 1897), p. 286: '...on the Krishna, 30 miles east of Kolhapur...a comparatively late structure of the style of the great temple in Kolhapur city...It has never been finished, save with rude brick and plaster in the most vulgar style. The workmanship, though elaborate and careful, lacks the finish, delicacy, and richness of design which are found in the older work...Before the temple stands an unfinished open hall which would have been an imposing and ornate building had it been completed. It was intended that it should have had a magnificent domical ceiling...but this unfinished top has been crowned, in later times, by a very ugly, low, crenellated, rough brick parapet in the very worst taste...' The incomplete mandapa and parapet can both be seen in this photograph. Photograph taken during the Western Circle survey season of 1892-93. Another copy of this print at Photo 1009/1 (1372).
