By the Water: Three Towns in India North, West, & South

September 21, 2012-December 14, 2012
Location: Asia Collection

This 3rd floor Asia Collection mini-exhibit features three photographs each for three towns in India -- Rishikesh in the foothills of the Himalayas, Pushkar in Rajasthan, and Tiruvaiyaru in Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu -- showing the water associated with the place; a pathway; and a selected image of interest for each town. The photos were taken by Linda Laurence, Asia Collection technician, on her first trip to India, in November 2009.

The exhibit also includes a map of India showing the location of these towns and small photos of where she lodged in each. Two sculptures from central or western India, donated to Hamilton Library by Indru and Gulab Watumull in 2011, flank and define this newly created mini-exhibit space. Our appreciation is extended to them.
