Stake attention in this memory
The image displays a close-up of a dark grey or black granite foundation stone, set into a paved surface composed of irregular grey and greenish-grey cobblestones. The stone features a golden etched border and gold-colored engraved text, rotated sideways in the original image. The visible text on the foundation stone reads: "THIS FOUNDATION STONE OF ST. PHILOMENA'S CHURCH WAS LAID BY HIS HIGHNESS SRI KRISHNARAJENDRA WADIYAR BAHADUR IV, G.C.S.I., G.B.E. MAHARAJA OF MYSORE 28-10-1933." The foundation stone marks the ceremonial beginning of the construction of St. Philomena's Church. This significant event was carried out by Sri Krishnarajendra Wadiyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore, on October 28, 1933. The stone itself is the primary object, bearing historical information. The surrounding pavement provides context to its placement, suggesting it's outdoors, likely part of the church's entrance or grounds in Mysuru, India, which aligns with the historical information on the stone. The lighting is even, without strong shadows, preventing a determination of the time of day or specific weather conditions.
