EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Monkey Temple on Kalbadevi Road in southern Bombay, circa 1890. The temple, built in 1875 and dedicated to the Hindu god Krishna, stands as a magnificent testament to faith and devotion. Also known as the Dwarkadhish Temple, Radheshyam Temple or Sunderbagh, it exudes an aura of serenity amidst the bustling cityscape. In this sepia-toned image captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we witness a slice of daily life unfolding around the temple. A medium-sized group of people can be seen strolling along the vibrant street adjacent to a tram track. The atmosphere is filled with energy and vitality as sunlight bathes everything in its warm glow. The composition beautifully captures both architectural grandeur and human interaction within this historical context. As our eyes wander through every detail – from intricate carvings adorning the temple's facade to individuals engaged in conversation or going about their day – we are transported into a bygone era. This photograph serves as a visual time capsule that allows us to appreciate not only the religious significance of this sacred place but also provides insight into everyday existence during that period. It reminds us of how history intertwines with spirituality and community life. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene frozen forever in time, let us reflect upon our own connection with heritage and tradition while cherishing those moments when past meets present through artistry like this remarkable print from
