Poonawa, Wo. 101,—This village is situated fourteen miles west 
of Gya, and the principal antiquity is a pillared temple of Trilok- 
nath, which has no superstructure left, but which, according to 
Major Kittoe, was not the case when he visited it in 1847, at which 
time a considerable portion of the superstructure was still perfect. 
No. 102.—One of the doorways is beautifully carved in black 
chlorite, and is the finest piece of sculpture of the kind in this part 
of the country. 
SEETAMUREE.—This place, which seems to have escaped the notice 
of all the antiquaries who have visited this district, although only 
fourteen miles from Poonawa, shows how difficult it is to obtain 
information of the whereabouts of antiquities, even to enquirers 
who devote themselves to such pursuits. 
The village is situated about a mile south-east of a village called 
Nadgurha on the Nawadah and Gya road, and fourteen miles east 
from Poonawa. 
Wo. 103.—The cave is excavated in a large block of granite on 
an open plain; the doorway is of the Egyptian form, being 1 foot, 
10 inches at the top and 2 feet, 2 inches at the bottom. The pas- 
sage leads into the cave at an oblique angle, and is 3 feet, 5 inches 
long. The chamber itself is 15 feet, 8 inches along the floor, and 
15 feet along the roof, and 6 feet, 43 high in the centre, and 
11 feet, 13 inwidth, The roof is vaulted, and springs at once from 
the floor. The whole of the inside is highly polished, and the rock 
is as compact as those in which the caves are executed at Burrabur, 
Curiously enough there is no trace of an inscription, inside or out- 
side. Inside, from the high polish every where, no inscription could 
escape notice; outside, without a recess being cut for its reception, 
no inscription could be cut, and there is no sign of any such recess. 
Its construction at any time must have been an achievement of no 
ordinary kind, and it is remarkable that an inscription should have 
been omitted. Its date cannot be less than those at Burrabur, 
which it so closely resembles. The form of the doorway and the 
polished interior are conclusive, I think, on this point.
