A View of an Insulated Rock, in the River Ganges at Jangerah()
View through Europeana Collections
This is plate 32 from William Hodges' book
'Select Views in India'. There are two large granite rocks along
the Ganges near Sultanganj, the larger of which projects into the
river and is cut off from the bank at high tide. At the time of
Hodges' visit, the rock projecting out of the river was "a small
hermitage for a Hindoo Fakir". Hodges wrote: "this rock is always
considered a place of sanctity, having upon it a small temple of
the Hindoos, and on many parts of the rock an imperfect
representation in sculpture of some of the Hindoo
deities."
