Title:

Patur, Akola District. Caves to west of town; general view of both. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View looking towards the entrances of the two rock-cut temples. 'Patur is twenty miles south of Akola. The caves here, two in number, are excavated in a low cliff on the hillside about half a mile west of the town. They are very plain with heavy square pillars, and consist of a verandah and shrine, the latter being empty. There is nothing within the caves to show what religion they were cut for, unless it be the short inscriptions, not yet deciphered, which are carved upon the pillars and architraves...Lying outside the caves, a few yards in front of them, is a portion of a seated cross-legged statue, apparently Jaina. It is not unlikely the caves were Jaina' (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, for the year ending 30th June 1902, p. 3).
