Ayodhya seen from the river Ghaghara, Uttar Pradesh. Coloured etching by William Hodges, 1785.

A hand-coloured etching of a riverside city view: a stone terrace with steps and a domed building stands beside the water, framed by trees, a hillside, and small boats in the foreground. Clouds fill the pale sky, and a domed structure rises on the distant left hill.

Español: Vista de parte de la ciudad de Oud, desde el río Ghaghara

Un grabado coloreado a mano de una vista ribereña: una terraza de piedra con escalinatas y un edificio con cúpula junto al agua, rodeados de árboles, una colina y pequeñas barcas en primer plano. Nubes cubren el cielo pálido y una cúpula se alza en la colina distante a la izquierda.
