TO EXAMINE THE REMAINS, &C. 37 



The four lateral chapels or vaults were roof- 

 ed in the same stile, but square, and without 

 apertures above. 



The Eastern chapel was equally plain ; had 

 onij one aperture^ the door, fronting which wa« 

 an Altar ; at each end an Arched niche plaim 

 and empty. On the floor we found two Imagea 

 about two feet high, decapitated, but evidently 

 from their nuditj and sitting posture, intended 

 to represent Jain. — One had a snake sculptured 

 clinging round bis arm — a peculiaritj never be* 

 fore observed, probably indicating the purity 

 and innocence of the represented. 



On the outside, above the door, in a nicbe, is 

 placed a sitting fignre, naked, which appears 

 rather like a female ; she holds a flowec 

 in one hand; the right hand held up. 

 On each side of the door, between the cornsr 

 pilasters and door-way, is a niche arched at top, 

 in the Gothic stile, within each of which stands 

 a male figure much rautilated; but still exhi- 

 biting evident proofs of elegance in the outline 

 and execution ; the Head-dress long; the 

 drapery or costume light ; the attitude graceful, 

 —^something like a stand on one side — no war- 

 like arms on any part of the building.
