介绍（中）	特里普是印度的一名职业军官，也是19世纪50年代末马德拉斯总统府的政府摄影师。1858年初，他对印度南部地区进行了一次雄心勃勃的艰难之旅，目的是为政府记录该地区的文物、具有历史意义的场景和自然现象。这幅保存完好的大纸底片版画的主题是印度南部城市马杜赖的Meenakshi Sundareshwara寺庙大门上的柱子上雕刻的具象细节，马杜赖是印度重要的朝圣地点。特里普在其出版的说明中指出，尽管献给湿婆和他的配偶米纳克希的gopuram或塔尚未完工，但它"在优雅的设计、比例和雕刻的精致性方面丝毫没有被超越。"这张照片来自《马杜拉摄影景》（1858）的第一部分。
介绍（英）	Tripe was a career military officer in India and Government Photographer to the Madras Presidency in the late 1850s. In early 1858 he made an ambitious and difficult tour of India's southern districts in order to create for the government a record of the region's antiquities, scenes of historic importance, and natural phenomena. The subject of this remarkably well-preserved print from a large paper negative is the figurative details carved into the pillars on the gateway of the Meenakshi Sundareshvara temple in Madurai, a city in southern India and an important Hindu pilgrimage site. Tripe noted in his published caption that although the gopuram, or tower, dedicated to Shiva and his consort Meenakshi was unfinished, it was "in no way surpassed in elegance of design and proportion and delicacy of carving." The photograph is from Part I of Photographic Views in Madura (1858).
