Conjeeveram [Kanchipuram], Chingleput District. North view of the main shrine in the Jvaraharesvara Temple. Photographer: Archaeological Survey of India
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View of shrine in semi-ruinous condition, showing pilasters and other sculptural decoration on lower portion of façade. With piles of rubble and masonry in the foreground. 'The mantapam in front has been totally demolished by Chetties, and all the sculptural pillars and stones of which it was built are lying in the courtyard. No intimation of this demolition was received from the Revenue Department, despite the Government order issued in 1904. The destruction was observed on one of the departmental visits of inspection, and as it was also learned that the uniqur shrine was to share the same fate, prompt measures were taken; and in course of communications between this office, the District Revenue Officials and Government, steps were taken to have the building protected under the Ancient Monuments Act' (Annual Report of the Archaeological Department, Southern Circle, Madras, for the year 1910-1911 (Madras, 1911), p. 37).
