1866.] Notes on some of the Temples of Kashmir. 107 



The corner pilasters of this temple are 4 feet thick, the ground plan 

 being a square of 25 feet, as in the other case. A few yards to the 

 S. S. E. of the central temple is a small one (C), seven feet square, 

 ■with one round-headed doorway 3-f feet wide, having mouldings the 

 same as those of Gr, and looking in the same direction as that of 

 the principal building. On the other three sides, there are similar 

 porches with closed square headed doorways. The basement (of 

 which part only is above the ground) seems to have been like that of 

 Bhaumajo.* The entablature*. over the doorways, beneath the base 

 of the pyramidal pediment, like the entablature over the corners of 

 the building (on each side of the pediment) is decorated like frieze 

 No. 2, of the Marttand entablature, shewn by General Cunningham. 

 The porches project 4^ inches. The interior is a square of 4f feet. 

 The roof is constructed of horizontal courses, like these of L. (Wood- 

 cut on p. 102.) The uppermost stone is decorated with an ex- 

 panded lotus flower. The two lower courses are ornamented each with a 

 moulding of three square-edged fillets, like those of the Payach dome.f 



To the X. N. E. and S. S. "W. of this small temple are the ruins of 

 two others. That in the former direction (D), a mere heap of ruins, 

 had its only entrance on the same side as that of the central temple. 

 The other (E) is a heap of huge stones, scarcely one of which is in 

 its original place. Eight feet behind the S. S. W. temple is a fourth 

 small one (F), with a square headed doorway which has plain 

 perpendicular and horizontal mouldings. There are similar doorways 

 on the other sides, but only that on the N. N. W. has an opening. 

 The interior is a square of 5i feet. The roof has been formed of 

 horizontal courses, of which the lowest alone remains, forming a 

 square opening of about 4 feet. The walls are 20 inches thick. 



There has been another small temple to the S. S. W. of that last 

 described, but it is now only a heap of stones ; and on its N. "W. side 

 I think there are the foundations of one, if not two, more temples. 



To the N. N. E. of the central building are the ruins of a very elegant 

 temple (Gr), the interior of which formed a square of about 9 

 feet. The walls were plain, with a cornice of 3 horizontal bands, 

 the centre one having a rounded edge. The Avails are 2^\ feet thick.
