Title:

Motibennur. Dolmen. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View of the dolmen, with an Indian man standing between the uprights as an indication of scale. Reproduced in Henry Cousens, 'The Chalukyan architecture of the Kanarese districts' (A.S.I., vol. XLII, New Imperial Series, Calcutta, 1926), pl. clii (c), described p. 139: 'But the largest dolmen met with in these districts is one which stands in the village of Motebennur. It is of the same type as that near the temple of Galagnatha at Aihole. Four roughly-hewn uprights, standing about eight feet out of the ground, support a great flat horizontal slab, seventeen and a half feet long by four feet broad. There are two other uprights, whose tops have fallen away from the support of the slab.' Another copy of this print at Photo 1002 (1991).
