Monuments to the Rajas of Mandi
A row of narrow upright memorial stones rises in differing heights, each filled with small carved figures or inscriptions. The caption identifies monuments to the rajas of Mandi in the Beas Valley. Their close arrangement makes a repeated pattern of peaked tops and framed scenes. Oldham’s photograph preserves the group as a view of monuments in place rather than isolating one carved panel.
