Shermadevi, Tinnevelly District. Unfinished gopura in Bhaktavatsalar Temple. Photographer: Archaeological Survey of India
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Poor quality print, rather dark. General view. 'The temple deserves inclusion in the conserved list from an architectural point of view and on account of its ancient nature. The repairs should be solely done by Government. The unfinished tower of the gopuram over the stone base has the masonry in an irregular condition, and the joints require being pointed, in order that further damage may not take place. The damage is the result of long neglect and the temple is in such a low level that all the rain-water stagnates within. This, if allowed to continue will damage the foundation still further...Arrangements should be immediately to remedy this defect' (Annual Report of the Archaeological Department, Southern Circle, Madras, for the year 1911-1912 (Madras, 1912), p. 19).
