Great Stupa, Sanchi

Lala Deen Dayal photographed the Great Stupa from the north in 1885. This is the earliest republishable photograph of Sanchi stored here. James Waterhouse’s 1861–62 gateway survey is earlier and is not ingested.

The article identifies the Buddhist monuments at Sanchi. Waterhouse’s 1861–62 photographs are known from museum catalogues. The Deen Dayal photograph stored here is a separate source.

Waterhouse documented the toranas in 1861–62. This corpus stores a later Deen Dayal view because a republishable Commons file was available. The gap is recorded, not closed by guessing Waterhouse’s frames.
