Gwalior Fort - Part 3 - Jain Sculptures

Wednesday, 22 March 2017

Near the main gate for contemporary entry to the fort (Urwahl Gate), 21 Jain sculptures are caved into the rock wall in shallow “caves”.

One of several sets of Jain figures carved into the rock wall of the hill that Gwalior Fort sits on.
The figures are so tall that it’s difficult to get a good photo. Also challenging was the “high dynamic range” of the scene, with the front portico in direct sunlight and the figures in deep shade.
A smaller sculpture is beneath the feet of each of the tall figures.
