By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Last week, in my article about the book ‘The Colonial Landmarks of Mysuru’  by Gauri Satya, my historian friend, I had made a reference to a most imposing but almost unknown monument built by Dewan Poornaiah to honour his patron Josiah Webbe of the Madras Council, at the spot very close to Srirangapatna, where a mutiny by British soldiers was crushed by the forces loyal to the Crown.  There is another very intriguing structure that once stood in Srirangapatna that astounded all those who were lucky enough to lay their eyes or set their feet on it but which has now almost disappeared from view. Only a handful old-timers who are alive and bound to be in their nineties now, may have seen it in its original form which it lost when it collapsed, in the year 1938.
