- Title:
- Miscellaneous Series Plate 3. Plan and Section of a Jain Temple at Sonawal. Artist(s): Maisey, Frederick Charles, 1825-1892.
- Scope & Content:
- Pen and ink drawing with watercolour of the plan and section of a Jain Temple at Sonagiri in Madhya Pradesh by Frederick Charles Maisey, taken from an album of 60 drawings dated 1847-1854.. In the 'Descriptive list of drawings of Captain Maisey', the artist wrote, "Sonawal is a place of Jaina worship 5 or 6 miles north of Datya. It is a striking and conspicuous place, there being no more than 57 temples, clustered together on and along a low rocky ridge, the ascent of which is by steps and ramps of masonery…All but one or two [temples] are quite modern…The exceptions are two small temples on the extreme left (Plate 4): one has an inscription dated Sambat 1760 (AD. 1703): the other, which resembles it in style, but is evidently older, I made a sketch, plan, and section of, which render any verbal description needless (Plate 2 fig.3: and Plate 3).
