EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of India's rich history and cultural heritage, as depicted in the iconic image of The Bridge at Pune (Poona) over the Sacred Mula-Mutha River. Dating back to the 1910s, this image transports us back in time to a bygone era. The bridge, with its elegant arches and intricate stonework, stands proudly over the serene waters of the Mula-Mutha River, which is considered sacred in Indian mythology. The bustling city of Pune, also known as Poona, is located in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Once the seat of the Peshwas, the powerful Maratha rulers, Pune has a rich history that blends ancient traditions with modern progress. The bridge, with its timeless beauty, is a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Pune during that era. The image shows a group of people gathered on the bridge, engaged in various activities. Some are seen fishing in the river, while others are washing clothes or chatting with each other. The scene is a vivid reminder of the close connection between the people and the natural world in India. The Mula-Mutha River, which flows through Pune, is an essential source of water for the city and its inhabitants. The river is also home to a diverse range of aquatic life, including fish, turtles, and crocodiles. The sacred waters of the Mula-Mutha River have been a source of inspiration for poets, artists, and pilgrims for centuries. This photograph is a rare and precious document of India's past, offering a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage and the daily life of its people during the early 20th century. The Bridge at Pune (Poona) over the Sacred Mula-Mutha River is not only an architectural marvel but also a symbol of the enduring spirit of India.
