Notes on Assam Temple Ruins.

Singori Temple. 

 Stones, thus marked, are found amongst the ruins of all the old 

 temples ; the outer faces of the stones intended for the domes of the 

 Tezpore temples, are covered with them. Two of them are shewn 

 in the following cuts.

Tezpore. 



There is a large figure of Guuesh, cut in a rock, near what must 

 have been the water-gate of the monastery. It is in high relief and 

 well designed. 



Ascending the river from Tezpore, we find ruins of ancient tem- 

 ples at Bishnauth, which was, no doubt at one time, a place of very 

 holy repute, and one of the strongholds of the valley, there being 

 here a fort of great extent ascribed to Arimut.
