No. 87.—To the south of the temple there is a fine large tank 
with a flight of stone steps on the east side nearest the fort, part of 
of which is still standing north and south of the tank. Several 
mounds indicate the position of the town. 
No. 88.—Higher up the same hill on which the temple is built, 
and on the summit of a higher ridge, there is a curious little altar 
with a huge boulder alongside it. Under the boulder sacrifices of 
kids and other animals are still made. Every available ledge and 
spur on this hill seems to have been occupied by similar structures, 
and there are also a great number of figures and lingams both on 
this and the adjoining hills. 
No. 89.—Still higher up, and also facing the east, are the ruins 
of another temple, nearly as large as the one lower down, and in 
the same style, but nearly the whole of the superstructure has fallen 
down. On the path between the two temples there are several in- 
scriptions cut on the face of the rock, but from the texture of the 
granite they are nearly illegible. 
On the hill opposite the dak bungalow there is a small temple and 
tank which are of a much earlier date, and the bricks and style re- 
semble those at Budh Gya. In this case also the chamber has an 
arched roof. 
Dro. No, 90.—Deo is twelve miles to the west of Oomga, and 
there is a very fine temple here. It is in the same style as those at 
Oomga and like these built of squared blocks of stone. This temple, 
however, faces the west, and has been highly ornamented. There 
is no inscription on the temple, but it may be of a somewhat earlier 
date than those at Oomga, 
No. 91.—This place is also the residence of the Maharajah Jai 
Pergash Singh, k.¢.s.1. His palace, a large rambling building, is 
quite modern. 
BrivcE ovER THE Poonroon River. No. 92.—The bridge over 
the Poonpoon river, where it crosses the grand trunk road between 
Muddunpore and Baroon, is given simply to show the character of 
the scenery on this part of the country. The Poonpoon, which is 
here only a few miles from its source, is a mean little stream, but as 
it collects the whole of the rainfall between the Sone and Morhur 
rivers, it becomes towards Patna a large river, which lays the coun- 
try under water for many miles to the south-east of Patna,
