 upwards of 100 feet high: the large temple 

 of Jagarnath built by Rau Bahadur, after 

 seven years' labour : and about a dozen 

 ', temples destroyed. 



: — The modern built garden houses of seve- 

 ral members of the minister's family have 

 been rendered untenantable: one of them, 

 a handsome and ornamental edifice, has 

 'come to the ground.

 ally greater than at any other part not to

— At the eastern extremity of Deo-Patan is 

 the temple of Paspanath, containing Pus- 

 puti Jee, the patron deity of the Brahmini- 

 cal inhabitants of Nepaul. The building 

 escaped unhurt, to the great joy of the rulers 

 and people of the land, who attribute the 

 circumstance solely to the interference of 

 the blind goddess in behalf of their fa- 

 vourite god, rather than to the stout deposi- 

 tion of brick and mortar. 

 — A fine old temple destroyed. 

 —A handsome temple of Mahadeo, situated 

 on a hill above Sankhu, is reduced nearly 

 to ruins. 



— The total number of houses in Bhatgaon 

 is reckoned by Mr. Hodgson at 4700, 3-4ths 

 of the town is said to be destroyed : 2000 is 

 the average of many accounts ; six or eight 

 fine temples destroyed, and a statue of Raja 

 Runjit Mall, one of the Newar princes of 

 the Bhatgaon division of the valley. 



— Six persons were killed under the ruins 

 of one house in this village: their remains 

 were found where they had gone to sleep.
