Stake attention in this memory
A framed informational sign is presented at an angle, likely hanging on a wall in what appears to be a historical or cultural site in Mysuru, India. The dark brown wooden frame encloses a white paper with text and an embedded image. A silver metal hook is visible on the left side of the frame, suggesting it is suspended. The background behind the frame is a textured, light brown or beige wall. The sign features a sepia-toned image of an intricately carved stone relief, depicting what appears to be a royal or divine figure seated on an elaborate throne, surrounded by smaller figures or attendants. The carving exhibits traditional artistic styles. To the right of this image, the sign contains a historical narrative. The visible text describes an event from 1612 when the Wadiyars took over an empire. It recounts how Queen Alamelamma attempted to escape with some treasure but was apprehended by Raja Wodeyar's soldiers. She then jumped into a river and cast a curse, declaring that "the land would be barren and that the Wadiyars would not have children." Above the carved image, the name "Srikantadatta Narasinharajawadyer" is prominently displayed, possibly indicating a dedication or a relevant individual connected to the displayed information. The sign serves to educate visitors about a significant legend or historical event related to the Wadiyar dynasty.
