EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scenes of Missing Kingdoms: Ruins of Golconda" takes us back in time to the remnants of a once-powerful state. Located 8 kilometers west of Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh in India, Golconda was a thriving town and fortress until it met its demise in the 17th century at the hands of the Mongols. The image showcases the haunting beauty and grandeur that still lingers within these ancient ruins. The crumbling walls and dilapidated structures stand as a testament to a glorious past now lost to time. Amidst this historical backdrop, we catch a glimpse into the present-day reality - an unexpected refuge for fakirs or faquirs. These mystical figures find solace amidst the ruins, creating their own community within this forgotten kingdom. Their presence adds an air of mysticism and spirituality to an already enchanting scene. The chromolithography technique used by an unknown artist from the 19th century further enhances our appreciation for this mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported not only through space but also through history. We are reminded that even in decay and destruction, there is still beauty to be found. This photograph invites us to reflect on how kingdoms rise and fall, leaving behind echoes of their former glory for future generations to discover and marvel at.
