C. Krishna Gairola was born in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. He received an M.A. in history from the University of Allahabad, India, in 1946 and a Ph.D. in Indian history and archaeology from the University of London in 1949. He studied art history and completed a diploma de l’ecole at the School of the Louvre, Paris, in 1953. After working for the embassy of India and the Indian Foreign Service in Switzerland and New Delhi, he accepted a position as professor and department head at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India, in 1962. Gairola also worked as a journalist for the Hindustan Times and Week End Review in New Delhi before immigrating to the United States in 1967. In the United States, Gairola held professorships at Kansas State University, the University of Washington, and Virginia Commonwealth University, before retiring in 1987. Among many honors he received was the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, awarded by the German government, as well as fellowships from the French government and the Smithsonian Institution. Gairola died July 2003.

The collection is a unique set of images that includes a significant representation of Indian art and architecture from the dynastic periods through the early 1960s, as well as art from Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, and Indonesia. It also contains photographs from various Indian and South Asian museums, photographs by the American Council for Southern Asian Art (ACSAA), Jagdish Mittal, Barbara Wagner, and Michael W. Meister. The images were probably made for the classes he taught, during various trips to India and South Asia from the 1950s to 2000. The final series in the collection (denoted by the double-letter label, for example "AA1") includes art from Asian museums, including the National Museum of India in New Delhi, as well as art by contemporary Indian artists.

Processer's Note: Gairola seems to have used the names Tejpal Temple and Vimalshah Temple interchangeably, often attributing duplicate images to different temples. The Vimal Vasahi temple was built circa 1021 by Vimal Shah, while Vastupal and Tejpal built the Luna Vasahi in the 13th century A.D.
