THE ORIENTAL ANNUAL. 
Zeinabad, (now Jehanabad,) and that on the western 
bank to be named Boorhanpoor. Hence arose our 
city. 
Ruins of Mohummedan tombs and mosques are 
thickly scattered through and all around Boorhanpoor; 
though numbers of these relics of faded grandeur are 
daily springing up into new life, as the merchant re- 
quires a warehouse, or the devotee a cell. Even now, 
many parts of the city are remarkable for the very 
•elaborate style of its architecture. The streets are 
wide and regular, and the houses are frequently three, 
four, or even five, stories in height, which is very 
unusual in the East. In fashion the houses very 
much resemble those of Oojein, being built of brick 
below, and of wood, very richly carved, above ; the 
fronts being tastefully decorated with pillars, cor- 
nices, and mouldings of the most intricate designs. 
The handsomest portions of the city are the Chouk, 
the Raj Bazaar, and the Burra Bazaar ; and the 
principal buildings of interest are the Jumma Mus- 
jid, or chief mosque, the Eed-Ghur, the King’s Fort, 
the palace of the Ahu Kahna, the ruined mosque of 
Abdool Raheim Kahn, the aqueduct, and some 
remains of the Madressa. 
The Jumma Musjid is the first in importance. 
It was built at the close of the fifteenth century 
by Meeran Adil Kahn, a prince of the Farookhi 
dynasty, and is certainly a credit to the architectural
