View through Europeana Collections
Watercolour and wash drawing of the Ganesha Lena
group of caves at Ellora, from an Album of 83 drawings; 80 of
landscapes and antiquities in the northem Deccan, 2 portraits and 1
flower study made during a tour chiefly to Ellora, Rauza,
Daulatabad, Aurangabad and Ajanta. September to November 1849.
Although the artist is unidentified, these drawings are of some
interest since they show the state of the Ajanta and Ellora Caves
soon after the Royal Asiatic Society had brought them to the
Company's notice in 1844. Robert Gill had been deputed to make a
record of Ajanta in 1846 and was presumably on the spot when these
sketches were made.The spectacular site of Ellora, in Maharashtra,
is famous for its series of Buddhist,Hindu and Jain cave temples
excavated into the rocky façade of a cliff of basalt. Theworks
were done under the patronage of the Kalachuri, the Chalukya and
the Rashtrakuta dynasties between the sixth and the ninth
centuries. The Ganesha Lena group of caves represent the latest of
the Hindu series. They were excavated in the 9th century and they
are situated in a ravine. This drawing depicts the view of the
small shrines.
