EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse of the magnificent Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab, India. Serving as the principal shrine of the Sikh religion, this architectural marvel was constructed between 1588 and 1601 under the guidance of Guru Anjan, the fifth Sikh Guru. The image showcases the temple's grandeur against a backdrop of lush landscapes and clear blue skies. The intricate details of its golden facade are beautifully captured, reflecting its religious significance and cultural importance. The temple stands tall amidst an array of other buildings in Amritsar city, symbolizing its prominence within both spiritual and urban realms. Illustrated by L Boulanger as part of his work on Indian tombs and sacred monuments titled "Inde, Tombeaux et Monuments Sacres" this print offers a vibrant snapshot into history. Its color palette adds depth to our understanding of this historical period while evoking a sense of awe for such architectural mastery. As we admire this photograph today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its enduring religious legacy. The Golden Temple continues to be a place where Sikhs from all over gather to seek solace and connect with their faith. It is truly an emblematic representation not just for India but for humanity's rich tapestry of beliefs and traditions.
