 left Debroo I have visited some very interesting ruins of temples in 

 the hills, from which the Seesee river emerges. There is not now 

 an inhabitant within 15 miles of the spot, and a year or two ago the 

 existence of these temples was not known even to the gold-washers,

 found them out, and removed to Debroo a Doorga that he found 

 there."
