EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of the fortified city of Chittorgarh, situated in the region of Mewar, Rajasthan, India. Serving as the capital of the Sisodia Rajput dynasty, this ancient city is steeped in history and holds a significant place in Indian heritage. Dating back to the 7th century, this photograph showcases not only an architectural marvel but also provides a glimpse into an ancient civilization that thrived within these walls. The towering structures and intricate design elements speak volumes about the military and defensive prowess of its builders. The fortified tower stands tall against a backdrop of clear blue skies, symbolizing strength and resilience. Its walls have witnessed countless battles and sieges throughout history, making it a testament to human perseverance. Beyond its military significance, Chittorgarh is also home to numerous religious temples that add spiritual depth to this historical site. These non-Christian places of worship hold immense cultural importance for locals and visitors alike. Photographed by Folco Quilici in 1965, this artwork transports us back in time while reminding us of our connection with ancient civilizations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's rapid pace, remnants from our past continue to shape our present. As we gaze upon this image from Alinari's collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof - we are reminded to appreciate both the artistic value captured by Quilici's lens and respect for preserving such archaeological treasures worldwide.
