Title:

Chitorgarh. Ten votive dagobas lying on east of Fath Jamal's tank. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

View of the small votive stupas: 'On the eastern margin of the Fath Jamal tank, and about four or five hundred yards to the north-east of Kalika Mata's temple, is a scattered group of some ten votive stupas in carved stone. The larger ones stand about 3'3" high and are 1'8" square at the base. They are all of one pattern. The upper portion is cylindical, with a domed top, from which a tee must have arisen, as the small square fracture of the neck is apparent upon all. No tee, however, was found. Around the base of the cylindrical part is a string course of sixteen little seated Buddhas, each in a little niche. Beneath this is is a constricted circular neck with lotus leaves springing from it, an upward row and a downward row. Beneath this, again, the stupa is square with projecting niches, one on each face, in each of which is a seated Buddha...The stupas are all a good deal weather-worn, so that the finer detail of the carving is lost...' ('Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, for the year ending 30th June 1904', p. 45).
