40 NARRATIVE OP A JOURNEY 



and the interfaces filled up with brick. They are 

 covered, either with lime terrace, or with tiles. The 

 principal bazar is a fpacious and regular ftreet paved 

 with llone. The houfes on each lide are of two {lories, 

 The lower, to which you mount from the Itreet by 

 live or fix fteps of llone, are moftly built of fione, 

 and are taken up with lliops. The upper, of brick or 

 wood, fervc for the habitations of the owners. 



The moft remarkable buildings are four mofques, 

 eredfed by private individuals, and a great number of 

 Hindu temples, of thefe the moll confiderable is a 

 little way on the outfide of the town, at Unk-pdt^ a 

 place held in great veneration, as being that where 

 Kreeshen and his brother Bulbudder, or Bildeo, 

 received the rudiments of their education. Here is a 

 Hone tank, with fteps leading down to the water's 

 edge : and this is faid to be of great antiquity. But it 

 has been enclofed with a ftone wall, and two temples 

 eredfed within theenclofure about twenty-five years ago, 

 by Rung Raw Appah, of the tribe Paivdr. Thefe 

 temples arc fquare, with pyramidal roofs. That on the 

 right, as you enter the gate, contains the images of 

 Kam, LiTCHMUN, and SiTA, in white marble ; and 

 that on the left, thofe of Kreeshen and Radha, the 

 firft in black, and the fecond in white marble. All 

 thefe figures are well executed. 



Sindiah's palace in the city, which is yet un- 

 finifbcd, is an extenlive and lufficiently commodious 

 lioufe, but without any claim to magnilicence. And 

 it is fo much furrounded with other buildings, as to 

 make very little appearance on the outfide. Near it is 

 a gate, which being all that remains of a fort faid to be 

 built loon after the time of Vicramadittya, may be 

 confidered as a good fpecimen of the ancient HifhJu 

 arch ited Lire.
