Curon.—lIs situated north-east of Oomga, about eight miles. A 
large number of isolated little hills are dotted over the country for 
some distance north of the grand trunk road. Many of these large 
masses of granite are not shown inthe revenue maps. Nearly 
every one of these hills had little structures of some kind on their 
summits. 
Vos. 93 and 94.—To the east of the village of Cheon there are the 
ruins of a temple of considerable size built of squared granite black 
without cement. It is now in ruins, only part of the shrine and 
doorway remaining. 
The interior of the shrine is occupied by a linga, and there are 
no inscriptions; but from its general resemblance to the temples at 
Oomga it may be considered as of the same date. 
Nos. 95, 96, and 97.—To the south of this temple, and to the 
east of a little hill there is a fine, life-sized four-armed statue with 
many fragments of others, also several mounds and masses of brick 
rubbish on every side. About 300 yards to the west, on another 
little hill called Puchar, there is a cave about half way up the hill. 
It is a natural hollow which has been built up enclosing a chamber 
some 10 feet by 12, with a doorway supported on bracket pillars. 
Inside there is a figure of Budh surrounded by a seven-headed 
snake called ‘lungabeer.’? There is also a figure of Mahamaya, the 
mother of Budh. 
No. 98.—A little platform has been constructed in front of the 
cave, and a flight of rude steps led up from below. ‘The cave faces 
the south. . 
No. 99.—About a mile to the south there is another cluster of 
little hills within the boundary of the village of Deokillee where 
there are many little caves similar to the one at Cheon. Most of 
them are filled up. One curious altar-like structure crowns the 
summit of a ridge between two hills immediately above a natural 
hollow in a rock which was used as a tank. 
No. 100.—And on the north of the hill a bund has been thrown 
across a hollow, thus forming a large tank, thus showing that the 
whole locality had been one of some importance. All these hills 
must have literally swarmed with Buddhist ascetics. Judging by 
the great number of little caves and structures, the remains of
