This photograph was taken in the 1860s for the Allardyce Collection. It shows the Bibi-ka-Maqbara or Queen's Tomb (1678), the most famous building in Aurangabad. After the death of his wife Rabia Durani in 1657, the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb (reigned 1658-1707) ordered his son Azam Shah to build a mausoleum for her. It was designed by the architect Ata Aula as an imitation on a reduced scale of the Taj Mahal at Agra. Lack of funds meant that it fell short of the original plan. The mausoleum is situated in the centre of a walled enclosure with a garden surrounded by a crenellated wall with bastions. It is a square building with a pointed arch to each front covered by a large dome with four corner minarets. This print was taken by an unknown photographer in the 1860s.
Photograph of the Gond Rajah's Tombs at Chandah in Maharashtra from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1860s. In the Central Provinces List of 1897, Henry Cousens wrote, "Chanda is a large walled town situated in the fort between the Jharpat nala [river] and the Erai river...The walls were built by the Gond Raja Khandkia Ballal Shah, the contemporary of Akbar...The only buildings of any consequence are some temples and the tombs of the later Gond kings, the last are plain and substantial buildings, but rather heavy in appearance. The gateways offer good specimens of Gond art, as they are ornamented with sculptures of the fabulous monster lion overpowering an elephant, which was the symbol of the Gond kings...The Gond tombs are eight in number, and belongs to...kings and queens...".

Photograph of a tomb in Rauza (Khuldabad) from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad, taken by J. Johnston. Rauza, also known as Khuldabad, is of religious significance to Muslims as the Emperor Aurangzeb (reigned 1658-1707) is interred here, together with other members of his dynasty. In his reign, Aurangzeb enclosed the city within a high fortified wall with seven gates, which remain today. There are between 15 and 20 doomed tombs and over 1000 sepulchres in Rauza and roads are often lined with the ruins of mosques and tombs.

Photograph of the temple at Mehekar from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad, taken by Robert Gill in the 1860s. The temple seen in this photograph was described by Gill in the Central Provinces list of 1897: "All that a few years ago represented the once fine temple of Mehkar was a picturesque ruin of standing columns and lintels, situated upon a very high basement or platform. The columns, judging from photographs, were of an old type and rather neat in design, and decorated with large lozenge-shaped ornament, conventional eaves, and bands of geese. These have now all disappeared." The temple, in all likelihood built by Jain devotees, was also accompanied by residential buildings built to house pilgrims visiting the site.
Photograph of a relief sculpture representing Krishna Venugopala from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1860s. As Venugopala, Krishna represents the flute playing cowherd who attracts the gopis with the sound of his divine music. Depictions of Krishna with his favoured gopi, Radha, are often used to symbolise the union of the human soul with the divine. In this sculpture Krishna is represented as holding the flute to his mouth. Krishna is the eighth incarnation of Vishnu.
Photograph of a view looking towards Banu Begum's mausoleum in Aurangabad from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad, taken by J. Johnston in the 1860s. Aurangabad is situated on the Kham river in the Dudhana valley between the Lakenvara Hills and the Sathara mountain range in Maharashtra. Originally known as Khadke, it was founded in 1610 by Malik Amber at a crossroads of the region's major trade routes. It later became the base of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb and was renamed in his honour. This photograph is of the tomb of Bani Begum, the wife of one of Emperor Aurangzeb’s sons. Built in the 18th century, the tombs pavilions are balanced on slender pillars surmounted by Bengali-style domed roofs.

Photograph of a tomb at Burhanpur from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1860s. Burhanpur is sitauted on the bank of the river Tapti and was founded around 1400 by the Prince Nasir Khan; the first of the Faruki kings of Kandesh who would rule the city for the next 200 years. The city is surrounded by ramparts and several large gates give access to its centre. There are two great mosques within the city walls, the Jami and Bibi Masjid and several Muhammadan tombs.
Photograph of a temple near Lonar Lake, Buldana District, Maharashtra from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad, taken by Robert Gill in the 1860s. Lonar Lake was formed by the impact of a meteor crash about 50,000 years ago, which created a crater of approximately 1800m in diameter and 150m deep. It is the third largest natural salt-water lake in the world and the only crater in basalt. There are many temples on the craters edge, mostly built around the 12th century in the Hemadpanti style of the Yadava period. Lonar Lake is an important site in Hindu mythology as it is considered to be the spot where an incarnation of Vishnu overpowered the demon-giant Lonasur by throwing off the lid and revealing his subterranean cave. The lake is considered to be the giant's blood, a nearby hill is the discarded lid and the crater is the remains of the cave. This is a view of one of the temples that dot its edge.

Photograph of Daulatabad in Maharashtra, taken by J. Johnston in the 1860s, part of the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad. The Hindu citadel of Devagiri was occupied and renamed Daulatabad after the Tughluq conquest at the end of the 13th century. In the 14th century it was for a time the capital of the Bahmani sultans of the Deccan. It was later taken by the Mughals in 1633. The impressive fortress is situated on the top of a steep hill 200 metres high. There are three concentric lines of fortifications between the outer wall and the citadel which is reached by steep flights of steps. The Chand Minar, or Moon Tower, seen in the foreground in this view, is a pillar of victory situated opposite the Jami Masjid (1318). It consists of four circular storeys and a central fluted section erected by Ala-ud-Din Bahmani to mark his conquest of the fort. The base of the minaret has twenty-four small chambers. Glazed Persian tiles originally covered the entire tower.

Photograph of the Jain Temples at Muktagiri from the Allardyce Collection: Album of views and portraits in Berar and Hyderabad taken by Robert Gill in the 1860s. Muktagiri is located about 65km from Amravati in Maharashtra and the site consists of 52 Jain temples on a hilltop near a waterfall that date to the 15th century. In the Central Provinces List of 1897, Henry Cousens wrote: "Muktagiri [has] a collection of...Jaina temples of no particular interest, and possessing few or no architectural features worthy of note. They form, however, a very picturesque group, perched upon the precipitous ledges of rock at the end of secluded and wild ravine, where a pretty waterfall comes tumbling down to the valley from the highlands above."
