Title:

Lonar, Buldana District. Old temple in village, view from south-west [Daitya Sudana Temple]. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view, showing sculptural detail and mouldings: 'In the village is the old temple of Daitya-Sudana...built of black stone profusely carved all over the exterior with images and other ornamentation. The work, however, is comparatively late, and this is seen in the inferior workmanship of the images, the style of the bands of moulding, particularly those in the basement, and an indiscriminate spreading of ornament over every available surface. The building, too, seems never to have been finished...It is my opinion that this temple...was being built when the Mahomedans first overran this part of the country about the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century. They stopped the work, dispersed the workmen, and mutilated the images...' (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, for the year ending 30th June 1902, p. 10). For earlier views of the temple, taken by Robert Gill in 1871, see Photo 1000 (1961-1965).
