Description
A striking early-20th-century photograph depicting the State Hindu Temples of Kapurthala, with their prominent shikharas rising above the surrounding palace-state architecture and figures gathered in the courtyard. Produced during the great period of architectural development and modernisation of Kapurthala under Maharaja Jagatjit Singh, this image forms part of the same early photographic tradition as the documented circa-1900 Kapurthala platinum prints. ♛━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♛ ◇ Photographer : Unknown ◇ Date : Circa 1900s ◇ Original platinum photograph mounted on board
