Framed Print of View of Sassoor in the Deccan, c1826-c1830. Creator: Richard Gilson Reeve
View of Salsoor in the Deccan, c1826-c1830. The most remote and secluded places in India frequently display to the astonished eyes of the European traveller scenes of beauty and of splendour, which, if situated in any other country, would attract crowds of tourists to the spot. Imagine the surprise of a party journeying through a tract of country of no great celebrity, when suddenly coming upon a scene like this which is represented in the engraving. There splendid ghauts, shrines, and temples arise at the confluence of two inconsiderable streams; a circumstance which in the eyes of the Hindoos always invests the spot in which it occurs with peculiar sanctity. This junction takes place near the fortified hill of Porrundah, to the south-east of Poonah. The principal temple is dedicated to Mahadeo, under another name, and is surrounded by several shrines, sepulchral monuments, and memorials of the immolations of widows on the funeral piles of their husbands'. (A grand palace with steps leading down to the water's edge. In the bottom right corner a carriage drawn by oxen makes its way along the riverbank. On the ghats people light fires, pray, and indulge in ritual bathing. Rays of sunlight pierce the grey clouds and shine on the domes of the palace.).
