English: Details of the carvings on the marble doors, doorways, jambs and cenotaphs of the marble tomb of Ghazi al-Din Khan at his Madrassah in Delhi
Watercolour of details from Ghazi al-Din Khan's Madrassa from 'Views by Seeta Ram from Delhi to Tughlikabad Vol. VII' produced for Lord Moira, afterwards the Marquess of Hastings, by Sita Ram between 1814-15. Marquess of Hastings, the Governor-General of Bengal and the Commander-in-Chief (r. 1813-23), was accompanied by artist Sita Ram (flourished c.1810-22) to illustrate his journey from Calcutta to Delhi between 1814-15. Idealised details of the carvings on the marble doors, doorways, jambs and cenotaphs of the marble tomb of Ghazi al-Din Khan [Ghazi uddin] at his Madrassa in Delhi. Ghazi-uddin Khan, who was given the title of Firoz Jang, was an important noble during the reign of Aurangzeb (r.1658-1707) and his successor Shah Alam (r.1707-12). Ghazi uddin's son was Nizam-ul-Mulk, the founder of the Nizam dynasty at Hyderabad. The Madrassa was founded by Ghazi-uddin and is still used as an educational institution now known as the Anglo-Arabic college. The double-storeyed building is constructed around a large courtyard and was entered through an imposing red sandstone gateway. Inscribed below: 'Details of some of the Sculptures on the Tombs at the' 'Madrissa at Delhi.' |
