Curatorial comment:
A "chattram" is a rest-house in Tamil Nadu. "Choudry" may be a misspelling of "choultry", a rest-house. In the background are the twin gopurams of the Raganatha Temple, Chennai. | Un chattram ou maison de repos, dans le Tamil Nadu. Choudry peut être la graphie fautive de choultry, également une maison de repos. À l'arrière-plan, gopuras jumeaux du temple Raganatha, à Chennai.
