Structures shown include bridges, Buddhist temples (with sculptures), dwellings (such as caves and huts), pagodas, ruins, and walls (with sculpture). The photographs also include an informal portrait of a young girl, group portraits of men and women washing in the Ganges River, and some contemporary landscape shots. Some items with description, location, and name of building or site.
