EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white image, titled 'Idol of an Indian Temple' is a stunning example of the intricate and ornate carvings found within the ancient temples of India. The photograph is taken from H.W. Bates' 'Illustrated Travels in Hindoostan,' published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London during the late 19th century. Bates, a British traveler and writer, documented his journey through India in this book, providing both textual and visual accounts of the country's rich history and culture. The photograph showcases an idol, possibly of a Hindu deity, hand-carved from stone and adorned with elaborate patterns and decorations. The intricacy of the carving is truly awe-inspiring, with every inch of the idol's surface covered in intricate designs and motifs. The ancient temples of India have long been a source of fascination for travelers and scholars alike, and Bates' 'Illustrated Travels' offers a unique glimpse into this world. The temples of India are not only architectural marvels but also repositories of artistic and religious significance. The idol in this photograph is just one of the many treasures that can be found within their walls. This image is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Indian craftsmen who created these masterpieces, as well as the enduring power of Indian art and culture. The photograph adds an air of mystery and timelessness to the image, making it a captivating addition to any collection of travel or art photography.
