Ixxxil Archeological Survey Report. 
low mound of brick ruin. Its overthrow is attributed by all the 
villagers to a pipal tree which stands close by the ruin. 
193. The mounds of Khukhundo are about 30 in number, but 
not more than three of them have any names, the rest being called 
simply Deora, or “mounds.” In my Survey of the ruins I have 
distinguished them by different letters of the alphabet, and under 
these letters I will now describe them. 
194. Mound A is 100 feet square at base and 16 feet in height. 
There is a Bel tree (Mgle Marmelos) on the top, and a Pékar (Ficus 
Venosa) on the west side. Under the Bel tree there is a good 
figure of the four-armed Vishnu in sandstone, with a peculiar rayed 
halo, which is boldly pierced through the slab. 
195. Mound B, which is 50 feet square at base and 10 feet high, 
is called Stva-ka-Tila, or Siva’s mound, because there are the found- 
ations of a lingam temple on its summit ; the temple was only 8 feet 
square, but the /zngam in blue stone is still perfect. There is one 
good piece of sculpture representing two seated figures, male and 
female, the latter with a child in her arms. A tree rises behind them, 
and with its branches forms a canopy over their heads. The figures, 
which appear to be entirely naked, with the exception of some 
ornaments, are I believe, Mahadeva and his wife Devi, or Bhawani, 
represented as the goddess of fecundity, with a child in her arms. 
Another sculture represents a four-armed female standing in what 
appears to be the prow of a boat. The subordinate figure of Ganesa, 
on the upper right hand, shows that the principal figure must be 
Parvati, the wife of Siva. 
196. Mound C is 120 feet in length, by 110 feet in breadth, and 
15 feet in height. On the top there are the ruined walls of a brick 
temple, from 4 to 5 feet in height, forming a room of 9 feet square, 
with a langam in the centre. To the south-west there is a walled 
entrance built of bricks of different sizes, and containing one piece 
of moulded brick with a flower ornament. The small size of the room, 
the mixture of large and small bricks in the walls, and the unusual 
direction of the entrance, all lead me to conclude that this is an 
insignificant modern structure, built of bricks of all kinds found on 
the surface of the mound. On both sides of the entrance there are 
several sculptures in sandstone, of which the principal is a statue of 
Ganesa. The other sculptures are a broken statue of Ganesa with
