search of Buddha’s cave to different natural fissures. The correct 
bearing, however, from the town of Gaya, and from Bodh-Gaya, is as 
follows. On crossing the river the cave Phalgu (which is on the east of 
the town of Gaya) by the wooden bridge, the road passes due south for 
about a mile to a bridge near village Bhusanda. Up to this place the 
road is metalled. After this, it is unmetalled and takes a south-easterly 
direction. Proceeding along the road, further for about 4 miles, the 
village Ganjas is reached on the north side of the road. Passing beyond 
this village a short way off, the road has to be left, and the foot of 
the hills skirted in a south-westerly direction. Travellers on horse¬ 
back or palki may leave the road near the village Manjhowli and 
reach the cave through village Sahaipur. The above description will 
be a sufficient guide to any one wishing to visit the cavern. The cave 
is, however, not visible from the foot of the hill even immediately 
beneath it, as already explained, but a tamarind tree—the only one 
there-—marks the site.
