EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fakirs at Amritsar, looking south across the Sacred Tank to the Golden Temple, India" takes us back in time to the early 1900s. Captured by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, this stereoscopic card offers a glimpse into the rich architectural heritage and religious significance of Amritsar. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent Golden Temple, which stands proudly as the principal shrine of Sikhism. Constructed between 1588 and 1601 under Guru Anjan's guidance, it exudes an aura of serenity and spirituality that draws countless devotees from all corners of India. In this scene, we see fakirs seated in a lotus position along the banks of the Sacred Tank. The tranquil waters reflect their contemplative presence while providing a serene backdrop for this sacred site. These men embody devotion and dedication to their faith as they engage in prayer or meditation. Amidst these spiritual figures are other individuals who have come to pay homage to this revered place. The monochrome tones emphasize both the timeless beauty of these ancient buildings and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph print, we are transported not only to Amritsar but also into history itself – where religion intertwines with architecture against a backdrop of natural splendor. It serves as a powerful reminder that places like these hold immense cultural value and continue to inspire awe even today
