  • Preparing Panipuri Pondicherry food Market, Panipuri or Pari puri, puchka, gupchup, golgappa or pani ke patashe is a type of snack that originated in the Indian subcontinent, and is one of the most common street foods in the Indian subcontinent. Panipuri consists of a round or ball-shaped, hollow puri (a deep-fried crisp flatbread), filled with a mixture of flavored water (known as imli pani), tamarind chutney, chili powder, chaat masala, potato mash, onion or chickpeas. Fuchka (or fuska or puska) differs from panipuri in content and taste. It uses spiced mashed potatoes as the filling. It is tangy rather than sweetish while the water is sour and spicy

  • The yellow-wattled lapwing (Vanellus malabaricus) is a lapwing that is endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. It is found mainly on the dry plains of peninsular India and has a sharp call and is capable of fast flight. Although they do not migrate, they are known to make seasonal movements in response to rains. They are dull grey brown with a black cap, yellow legs and a triangular wattle at the base of the beak. Like other lapwings and plovers, they are ground birds and their nest is a mere collection of tiny pebbles within which their well camouflaged eggs are laid. The chicks are nidifugous, leaving the nest shortly after hatching and following their parents to forage for food. 18th century watercolor painting by Elizabeth Gwillim.

Mathura is particularly associated wtih the exploits of the Hindu god Krishna. The principal buildings visible are the fort built by Raja Man Singh of Amber at the beginning of the 17th century, and the Jami Masjid with its four minarets, which was erected 1660-1668 by Aurangzeb's governor 'Abd al-Nabi Khan.

  • Ousoor, In The Mysore 1801 Hosur was one of the forts established by Tipu Sultan in the dry rocky country southwards from Bangalore for his military campaigns into the Tamil country, as it commanded the route down from Bangalore to the plains. Its capture by Cornwallis in 1791, the year before the visit of the Daniells, was of great srategic signficance. The Daniells rode out from the fort up to the temples on the nearby hill, and this view shows the fort in the distance, with the small temple on the left dedicated to Siva as Cudanathesvara, and a choultry or travellers' resthouse on the right, where the sepoys who accompanied the Daniells up from the fort rest in the shade.

  • The Great Pagoda, Tritchinopoly This Pagoda, or temple, is a south-western view of the same edifice, which, taken from the north, appears in the preceding plate. Its exterior form is very much unlike the style that generally prevails in the Hindoo temples: being remarkably plain, and without any decoration excepting the top of the walls, along which are arranged idols of various denominations; and that part of its interior which may be entered by Europeans retains the same unornamented appearance. This view is taken from an elevated situation on a part of the rock where many of the Bramins reside.

  • Musoleum of Sultan Purveiz, near Allahabad The remains of Sultan Purveiz, the son of the Emperor Jehangire, were here deposited about the year 1626.' The identification of the tomb is actually uncertain and it is now believed to be that of his sister Nithar Begum (d. 1624/5). It is a building of typical Mughal style, a cube crowned by a dome on a terrace, with many wall niches, slender portals in the middle of each side and slim chhatris or pavilions. In the main building is only a cenotaph; the entrance at the lower level leads to the actual tomb of the princess.

  • The principal gate leading to the Taje Mahel [Taj Mahal], at Agra, July 1796 This Gate is of red stone and white marble, elegantly ornamented. The spandals over the arches are decorated with foliage of various coloured stones inlaid. The Taje Mah’l is a Mausoleum of white marble, built by the Emperor Shah Jehan, in the year 1631, for his favourite Queen; and is considered by the natives as the most beautiful work of the kind in Hindoostan. The Emperor also lies interred here. The space between the gate and the tomb is converted into a garden, with avenues of trees, fountains, beds of flowers, &c. The river Jumna washes the lofty walls of the terrace on which this celebrated building stands. Agra is distant from Delhi southward about one hundred and thirty-seven miles.

  • The Sacred Tree of the Hindoos at Gyah, Bahar, May 1796 By the natives this favourite Tree is called the Baur, and by Europeans the Banyan. It is a species of the fig, and bears a small red fruit. In every village they are to be met with. Small temples are usually built under them, where frequently may be observed fragments of mutilated idols, the work of Mahommedan intolerance, which are again often collected by the patient Hindoos, and, though defaced, are still regarded with veneration. This Tree, the Bramins assure the people, proceeds from another more sacred one, which is growing within a very ancient temple, under ground, in the fort of Allahabad; and, notwithstanding the distance is not less than two hundred miles, the story obtains an easy belief from credulous devotees, who cheerfully pay the sacred fee that admits them to a ceremonial adoration of it. Gyah is near three hundred miles N. W. from Calcutta.

It is in fact the tomb of Mirza 'Aziz Koka, foster brother of the Emperor Akbar, who died in 1623/24. It is one of the earliest of a new type of Mughal tomb, the flat-roofed hypostyle hall, here encased in white marble, with white marble jalis or pierced screens around the sides. It is known as the Chaunsath Kambha or '64 pillared hall' from the number of its pillars: it consists of 6 by 6 bays, with pillars doubled round the periphery, and quadrupled at the corners.

The Jami' Masjid or Congregational Mosque in Kannauj was converted from former Hindu buildings in the period 1400-06 by Sultan Ibraham Shah of Jaunpur. The Daniell print shows the relatively unadorned front of the half ruined prayer hall with its pointed arches and polygonal columns typical of Muslim architecture in India before the arrival of the Mughals, although the richly carved corbels supporting the mostly vanished chajja or heavy eave are typically Hindu.

  • Govinda Ram Mittee's Pagoda, Calcutta [Kolkata] 1792 The Black Pagoda, a Shiva temple built in north Calcutta around 1730 by the wealthy merchant Govinda Ram Mitter, was perhaps never completely finished. The main tower collapsed some time around 1800, and only one of the smaller subsidiary shrines survives. The aquatint reproduces a scene set in the Chitpore Bazaar, with water buffalo swimming in the tank and huts with characteristic Bengali curved eaves. The tank is for the ritual ablutions.

  • Hindoo Temple Near Currah [Kara], on the River Ganges, November 1796 The banks of the Ganges are here very lofty, steep, and picturesque; but are subject to considerable alterations in the rainy season, as the river then rises to the height of thirty feet.' At that time, before the coming of railways, boats like the one in this view with a big sail were widely used for transport. It was the Daniells' baggage boat, and their palanquins can be seen lashed to the roof. Their own pinnace budgerow is in the distance. The actual site of the view is Naubasta, below the ancient city of Kara on the Ganges, with a small 18th century temple crowning the bluff.
