EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1869, capturing the majestic Carved Horse Pillars in Ranganatha Temple, Srirangam. The image, taken by Samuel Bourne, showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of these 16th-century pillars that adorn the faAzade of the Sheshagirirayar mandapa within the temple complex. Located on an island in the Kaveri River, Srirangam is a part of Tiruchirapalli city in South India. These intricately carved horse pillars stand tall as a testament to Indian artistry and devotion. Made from granite, each pillar depicts beautifully sculpted equine figures with riders atop them. The photograph allows us to appreciate every detail of this stunning sculpture. The rearing horses exude power and grace while their riders appear regal and dignified. As we gaze at this image, we are transported into a world where Hindu mythology intertwines with artistic expression. The significance of these pillars goes beyond their aesthetic appeal; they symbolize reverence for Vishnu, one of Hinduism's most revered deities. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into India's rich cultural heritage. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from its private collection for all to admire. It reminds us that even centuries later, art continues to transcend time and connect people across generations through its beauty and storytelling ability.
