EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ruins at Ettaia, India" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remnants of a once majestic structure nestled on a hilltop. The print, part of a private collection, offers an intriguing glimpse into Indian religious customs and legends. According to local folklore, these ruins are believed to have been the result of an epic combat between two deities - Krishna and Kali. As we delve deeper into the image's details, we can almost imagine the grandeur that once adorned this sacred site. The etching was created as an illustration for James Gardner's book "The Faiths of the World" published by Fullarton in approximately 1880. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate line and stroke that brings this ancient scene to life. Ettaia is not only a physical location but also represents a spiritual hub where Hindu ceremonies and rites were performed. Its significance in Indian culture cannot be understated as it symbolizes faith, doctrines, and religious practices deeply rooted in Hinduism. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens through Fine Art Finder, we are transported across time and space to witness the rich tapestry of Asian traditions intertwined with Indian heritage. It serves as a reminder of how art can preserve history while offering us glimpses into diverse cultures around our world.
