KARLY, a village fittiatcd on the road between Bon>- 

 bay and Poona, having in its vicinity a lofty hill, in which 

 are fome excavations that have not, until withisi thefo few- 

 years, come under the notice of Europeans. The hill is 

 named Ekvera, and is two or three miles to the N.E. of 

 Karly, but the excavations are gcrcrally called by the name 

 of the village. The late Mr. Wales, a very refpedable ar- 

 till, was the firft European who explored this magnificent 

 cavern-temple, of which he made feveral accurate fketches, 

 and copied feveral infcriptions. The flvetches have not been 

 publilhed, nor have, we believe, the infcriptions been hithert«> 

 explained. I.,ord Valentia has more recently vifited Karly, 

 and in his " Travels" defcribes the cave, of which a beau- 

 tiful view and a ground plan are given ; and Mr. Salt, who 

 accompanied his lordfhip, has, in his elegant feries of oriental 

 views, given two of this beautiful temple. Major Moo.-, 

 who has alfo frequently viiited it, has given a plate of fome 

 of its fculptures m his Hindoo Pantheon. There are many 

 apartments fcoopeJ out of the reck in an elevated fituation, 

 having flat tops, as ufuai in moll of the Indian excavations ; 

 but the grand apartment of Ekvera is arched, and of a molt 

 ilriking and magnificent defcription. " Its fize, and the pe- 

 culiarity of its form," fays lord Vale tia, " Itruck me with 

 the greatcll ailonifhment. It confills of a vedibule of an 

 oblong fquare (hape, divided from the temple itfelf, which is 

 arched and fupported by pillars. The length of the whole 

 is one hundred and twenty-fix feet, the breadth forty-fix 

 feet. No figures of any deities are to be found within the 

 pagoda, but the walls of the veftibule are covered with 

 carvings, in alto-relievo, of elephants, of human figuresof 

 both fexes, and of Budha, who is reprefonted in fome places 

 as fitting crofs-leg^ed, in others he is ereft, and in all at- 

 tended by figures in the adl of adoration ; and in one place, 

 two figures Ibnding on the lotus are fanning him, while 

 others hold a rich crown over his head. I think, therefore, 

 that it is bevond dilpute, that the whole was dedicated to 

 Budha." travels, 'vol. li. p. 163. (See BooDH.) Tlie
