“Ravi River at Chamba [?] the hills, India - Bridge at Kilar [Killar], Panji". Landscape looking down on to a beam bridge that crosses over the narrow point of a gorge. ❧ Killar is in the Pangi Valley which lies in the north of Himachal Pradesh and was known as the ‘Prison House of Chamba’. Medico-evangelistic work was undertaken amongst the Himalayan slopes and the missionary parties would endure extreme conditions to spread the Christian gospels and provide medical treatments. ❧ Chamba was an independent princely state and came under British influence in 1848. It now forms part of Himachal Pradesh.
