Framed Print of Hindoo shrine at Allahabad, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Hindoo shrine at Allahabad, 1881. That ancient and venerable city of India, at the confluence of the Jumna with the Ganges, 500 miles north-west of Calcutta, has in past ages been successively hallowed by devotees of the Brahmin and of the Moslem religions. Its Jumna Musjid, or Great Mosque, is a stately building adjacent to the esplanade of the Fort; but there is a subterranean Hindoo temple beneath the fort, entered by a long passage sloping downwards, which is greatly revered by worshippers of the antique Indian superstition. It is adorned with huge figures of their mythological deities, and contains what seems to be a spring of water from the rock, but which the Hindoos believe to be a secret outlet of the holy river Saraswati, a stream associated with the goddess of divine learning, that sinks and disappears, as if seeking refuge from the impiety of mankind, in the sandy desert of Sirhind, four hundred miles to the north-west of this city. Even the Mohammedan, who puts a different interpretation upon this phenomenon, regards it with awe, as of supernatural origin, and turns it to the profit of his own faith'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
