Mount Abu. Achalesvara [Temple], general view. Photographer: Cousens, Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view from hillside: 'Achalesvara is the most disreputable corner of the Abu plateau. The great sacred kunda or reservoir, undoubtedly the oldest object of interest to be seen here, with its little old brick shrines around its margin and the famous effigies of Adipala and the buffaloes, are in utter ruin...The interior of the kunda, save for a filthy puddle or two, now almost dry, presents a spectacle of terrible neglect, the accumulated neglect of many years and the gradual silting up of ages...' (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, for the year ending 30th June 1901, p. 7). The view looks across the dried-up tank towards the temple on the far side, with other shrines dotted around.
