EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sculptured entrance to one of the Kanheri Caves, a remarkable archaeological site in India. Dating back to the 19th century, this image is part of H. W. Bates' "Notes on the Ancient Temples of India" collection, which documented various architectural wonders across the country. The Kanheri Caves are an awe-inspiring testament to ancient craftsmanship and devotion. Carved into a massive basalt outcrop near Mumbai, these rock-cut monuments hold great religious significance for Hindus. The intricate stone carvings adorning the entrance depicted in this photograph exemplify the exquisite artistry that went into constructing these temples. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of history frozen in stone. The photographer's choice to present it in black and white adds an air of mystery and nostalgia, allowing us to appreciate every detail with heightened focus. This print serves as both a visual delight for tourists and a valuable resource for archaeologists studying Indian heritage. It reminds us of our rich cultural past while also inspiring future generations to explore and preserve such extraordinary sites around the world
