English: Plate 22 from the fourth set of Thomas and William Daniell's 'Oriental Scenery.' The Daniells were the first artists to depict the Garhwal region in the Himalaya about which they wrote, In these high situations the traveller encounters no villages; he must carry with him the means of subsistence, or perish. Taka-ca-munda is a solitary resting place; a plain stone building erected near the barren summit of one of the highest mountains, for the accommodation of benighted wanderers, or to afford an occasional shelter from the storms that frequently vex these cloud-enveloped hills.
Item number: plate 22
