Jejuri Mahoba Temple, Jejuri, Maharashtra, India
View through Harvard Museums
The photograph is 15 by 15 inches and the image fills the entire sheet. The photograph is a Chromogenic Dye Coupler Dye Print. The subject of the photograph is the interior of a small temple in Maharashtra known as the Jejuri Mahoba temple. Image depicts the interior of the shrine from the vantage point of the outer mandapa (porch) looking into an inner mandapa through a triple-arched entranceway. This division of architectural space helps to create spacial recession in the photograph as the view moves from the foreground of the composition in the outer mandapa back through the interior. While a small Ganesh shrine is visible in the center left of the image, preceeded by a figural stele sculpture and two linga bases, the view of a central shrine is obstructed by a support column in the arch. This leaves the viewer to focus upon the modern objects in the temple's outer mandapa, the poster print and the television set which is broadcasting a show on the Doordarshan channel. The photograph is composed of bright colors that decorate the temple interior: ochre and tumeric yellows, sea foam green, rose pink, and turquoise blue.
