1866.] Notes on some of the Temples at Kashmir. 123 



I found that the whole of the entablature on the south side had been 

 thrown down before the silting up of the quadrangle. Notwith- 

 standing this circumstance, the pedimental pilasters of the recesses 

 have scarcely been injured at all. This is specially remarkable in the 

 case of one pair of pilasters, which are ornamented with figures 

 representing Siva or some other divinity. The woodcuts on page 122, 

 from a drawing by Mr. H. Wilson of the Civil Service, give a very 

 faithful representation of four of these pilasters. 



KuNAMon, &c. 



At Kunamoh and Kroo, beyond Pampur, to the left of the Islama- 

 bad road, there have been temples in the middle of small tanks, which 

 (latter) still remain. At Tapur also, between Pathan and Baramula, 

 there are the foundations, if not the entire basements, of two fine 

 temples ; and near Woossun, on the right bank of the Sind, there 

 are likewise extensive ruins of similar buildings. 



About one mile from Baramula, on the left bank of the Jhelum, are 

 the foundations of a wall 90 yards square, enclosing a small tope. 

 This is probably the ancient Jayendra Vihar. .Near the wall there 

 are the foundations of a large village or city. Stones of all shapes 

 are strewn over the ground to the extent of some acres. In one place 

 there is a heap of huge blocks, which are evidently the debris of a 

 temple long ago overturned. There is also a small mound resembling^ 

 a Buddhist tope, also covered with loose stones. Near its top is a 

 very large liny am. A few hundred yards from this mound, in an 

 orchard, there is another and larger lingam, measuring 17 feet in 

 circumference near the base, and 9 feet in height.
