  • 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.

  • Ruins at Cannouge, 1801 Kannauj, the ancient city of Kanyakubja, the capital of the Emperor Harshavardhana and later of the Pratihara dynasty, had by the early 15th century become an important Muslim city, part of the Sultanate of Jaunpur. 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. Facing the mosque is part of a tomb.

  • Verapadroog, in the Barramah'l, 1801 irabhadradrug is one of the smaller of the South Indian fortified hills known as 'droogs' or 'drugs' from 'durga', Sanskrit for 'fort,' and is situated in the Baramahal, the hilly district between the Mysore plateau and the plains of Tamil Nadu. As the artists remarked, 'Verapadroog, with respect to its form and situation, is one of the most romantic forts of the Barramah'l. Its sides are very thickly clothed with wood a considerable way up, and the lower part is so surrounded by an impenetrable jungle, that the tygers which are said to be very numerous here, find a secure and undisturbed shelter.' When the Daniells visited it in 1792, the soldiers of Tipu Sultan were in course of evacuating it at the end of the Third Mysore War.

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.

  • Jag Deo, and Warrangur, Hill Forts in the Barramah'l, 1801  The artists recorded, 'Jag Deo, and Warrangur, are two of the twelve Hill Forts, or Barramah'l, which were in the possession of the late Sultaun Tippoo; these are of the lesser class, but, like most of the hill forts, are strongly fortified quite to their rocky summits.' The hill fort rises above the village of Jagadevapalaiyam in two peaks, one Jagadevadrug, and the other, separated by a saddle, Kevalgadai (Cowel Gur). The Daniells are mistaken in calling the second peak Warrungur. Jagadeva has some of the finest defensive fortifications of all the hill forts in the Baramahal, with ramparts more than 30 feet high rising above a steep rock glacis, while the remains of the old town around its foot testify to its once being much more important.

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.

  • Gate leading to a Musjed, at Chunar Ghur, January 1797  The ancient fortress of Chunargarh, on a bold rock on the Ganges just before it reaches Varanasi, was strongly fortified by Akbar and represented the gateway to his Eastern Indian provinces.

The entrance is a magnificent structure with a pointed arch in the middle, completely decorated with relief patterns of different designs.

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.
