Temples of India (1938) - Jack Cardiff | BFI

[@arunchaturvedi1960]

I am originally from Mysore, Karnataka. This is a very rare video of pre-independence era Mysore. Love it!

[@rnilu86]

Wow. That dance sequence is magical. No wonder Jack Cardiff was a legendary cinematographer.

[@DeepakJain-ms2es]

The narrator has got so many facts wrong. Yet its a great piece of history captured on film 👍

[@nischaymiglani2617]

He deliberately said it wrong for their British propaganda against India and also for divide and rule policy.

[@ms.dentist]

Actually no. It was a belief that u can't be converted into hinduism..u have to be born hindu Plus white men or anyone except hindus were not allowed inside temples. I am not saying everything he said must be right..it might be my ignorance as well. But yes..u r right..these are some amazing pieces of our past

[@amolkhobaragade]

@@ms.dentist You're right. Those were facts. But depends on which region of India you live in.

[@varoonnone7159]

@@nischaymiglani2617 He wasn't deliberately wrong. It was their understanding of that time The British gave us our History back with their archeological works in the Indus Valley

[@varoonnone7159]

@thezoldics7648 The British renovated all the temples left in ruins, dug out the Indus Valley Civilisation and created the first academic studies of Sanskrit texts

[@latham29]

Fantastic film! The quality of the colour photography is amazing for the 30s. Can't believe that this was made at the same time as Gone With the Wind and Wizard of Oz. Thanx again bfifilms for sharing your great films.

[@gillbiesgmail]

I'm very impressed by the footage of the male Madame Menaka Ballet dancer starting around 6:48; beautiful!

[@abhitherock1066]

Dear Jack Cardiff... world owes you. In another world and time if we meet, I owe you a jaadu ki jhaapi.

[@kumarsa108]

Despite the inaccuracies the capture of some of the ancient rituals and temples was spectacular. Thanks for sharing

[@amolkhobaragade]

Please elaborate on the mistakes.

[@jigsaw2281]

[@DeepakJain-ms2es]

Every Hindu should share this video. Aap ko shaat shaat pranaam

[@sanjaypalayat2792]

Deepak Jain why? It says weirded and bizarre faith of hindu!

[@dr.kaustubhsingh6429]

I find nothing wrong in the content of this video..It is actually a very accurate description of our sanatan dharma.

[@gourobshill2999]

Historical... Thank you...

[@jambudvipi]

BFI is correct Taj Mahal was a temple too

[@vikas4285]

Correct 💯

[@amolkhobaragade]

😂😂😂

[@jyotiranjandas7058]

Hindus literally stopped building magnificent temples (worthy to stand the test of time) since centuries back... :-(

[@dineshjaiswal3120]

Coz medieval invasion

[@brajbhushan44]

Ram mandir will be built

[@dineshjaiswal3120]

@goldenstate2002 when I said they built and Vijay nagar never ventured out of their state

[@amolkhobaragade]

They did built temples in Varanasi and in Somnath.

[@jyotiranjandas7058]

Priests used to meditate or pray on the steps of Haleebedu temples that time. Whatever happened post Independence????

[@varoonnone7159]

Sounds like the introduction of an Indiana Jones movie

[@Fabyr]

Very interesting, amazing video! Thanks for sharing!

[@rahulboruahupsccandidate7822]

Thank you.

[@lamalo80]

Loved it! Wonder what is inaccurate though as I do not know much of Hinduism.

[@saveanimalsbeveggie]

Beautiful.

[@brajbhushan44]

Taj Mahal was built against the demolition of Tejo Mahalya a Shiva temple..

[@jinalvaghelabts4115]

Why you put tajmahal on caption

[@aman.aman.aman.3]

This is amazing

[@patriot6067]

@ 1:45 "prepare to meet Kali IN HELL !" sorry , somebody had to say it , and it damn sure wasn't gonna be Sabu !

[@nikhilgowda9958]

Please tell for us to understand easily

[@sgcars]

6:45 what dance form is this?

[@nikhilgowda9958]

Namma karnataka my India nanu HINDU 🙏🏻

[@mgmaharajan5343]

Nice to watch and listen 👍🙏

[@DearPrithwish]

Just re-narrate it and it's perfect

[@sudhakarreddy6251]

Mysore chamundi hill in 3.27

[@janakirao6654]

3:24 Mysuru ಮೈಸೂರು.

[@theworldvideos1]

Strange why they filmed the Taj Mahal in the night time !!!!

[@lamalo80]

@latham29 "most beautiful by midnight" they say in the movie :)

[@rajvardhansingh9203]

Can someone tell the reference of Dr. Strange at 03:52 or its nit dr strange but something else

[@jinalvaghelabts4115]

Tajmahal is not temple

[@nischaymiglani2617]

Yes taj mahal is a hindu temple. Actually tejo mahalay.

[@SadhuPrasanga]

The narration is very derogatory and rid of ignorance. The dancer is in the mood of Ardhnarishwar.

[@vijendersingh3622]

Hinduism is universal born by lord vishnu

[@jayakrishnan26]

Is that halebidu ?

[@ЕкатеринаС-щ4ц]

Wow. What is the name of the dancer?

[@honesttruth1808]
