Tombs near Etaya, in the Doo-ab, on the Jumna River
View through Europeana Collections
This is plate 19 from Charles Ramus Forrest's 'A
Picturesque tour along the rivers Ganges and Jumna, in India'.
Forrest was an East India Company official who made several
excursions along the great rivers, producing drawings "attentively
copied from nature, and in many instances coloured on the spot, ...
while the magic effects of the scenes represented were still
impressed on [his] mental vision."In December 1807, he set out with
companions on an excursion to various towns along the riverbanks.
Leaving Allahabad, they proceeded through the Doab (literally, 'the
country of the two rivers', being situated between the Ganges and
Jamuna) and following the course of the Jamuna. Forrest wrote: "The
Cane, the Betwah, and the Sinde rivers join their tributary streams
from Bundelcund on the south-west and oppsoite bank of the Jumna,
during its course past the province of Korah...Proceeding on these
as far as Etwah...and taking a new direction by the village of
Jeswuntnagurh," they came upon these beautiful Muslim tombs in a
thick grove.
