"A Ruinous Building in the Pass of Tilliagurry [Teliagarhi]" is a painting by the British artist William Hodges, created during his travels in India in the late 18th century. Hodges, known for his landscape paintings, was one of the first professional European artists to visit India, accompanying the British colonial administration. His works are significant for their depiction of Indian architecture and landscapes, offering a European perspective on the subcontinent during this period.

This particular painting captures the ruins of a building in the Pass of Tilliagurry, also known as Teliagarhi, located in the present-day state of Jharkhand, India. The pass was historically significant as a strategic point and a route for trade and travel. Hodges' depiction of the ruins reflects the Romantic fascination with decay and the sublime, emphasizing the grandeur and mystery of ancient structures amidst a natural landscape.

Hodges' use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the textures of the stonework and the surrounding environment, creating a dramatic and atmospheric scene. The composition likely aims to evoke a sense of history and the passage of time, themes common in Hodges' work. His paintings often combined topographical accuracy with artistic interpretation, providing a blend of documentary and aesthetic value.

The painting is part of Hodges' larger body of work from his time in India, which includes numerous sketches, paintings, and writings. These works were influential in shaping Western perceptions of India during the colonial era. Hodges' Indian landscapes were later published in his book "Select Views in India," which contributed to his reputation as a pioneer of picturesque travel art.

"A Ruinous Building in the Pass of Tilliagurry [Teliagarhi]" exemplifies Hodges' skill in capturing the essence of a place while also reflecting the broader cultural and historical contexts of his time.
