In the foctlire•threi large reservoirs, cut into the
solid rock, of NPR, fine fresh water, and the ruins of
three of the mtertnagnificent Hindoo temples I ever
beheld ; the whole of the stones composing the build-
ing are laid without cement, but most nicely fitted to
each other, and the sculpture, both inside and with-
out, is of chaste design and exquisite workmanship ;
the time of building these temples is lost in antiquity;
from appearances, they must have been erected long
before the fort—the fort itself was built by an ancient
Rajah, named Ajy Gopaul, and the fortress was called
after hint Ajy Ghur, or the invincible fortress.
In what period Ajy Gopaul flourished is also un-
known ; for I could not learn, whether there are any
records respecting him, but he is represented to have
reigned ages ago, and is said to have been a great
,xtagiClan.
.• In one of the large Temples, and on the outside of
the other, are two large tables (4- stone, covered with•
inscriptions, but these are so effaced that it could not
be ascertained in what language they are written, or
rather, indeed, raised on the face of the stone. I,
could not procure a man who could copy them.
After a siege 'of ten months Alee Behauder took:

A 5,000 rupees, but it is suspected, as Lutchmun had
possession of a most valuable. diamond necklace that
had belonged to Gunnee Behauder, that after the

and took not the necklace alone, but despoiled the
Mahrattas of all they had. On the North side of the

The wholeof the Ghant, and almost every bill in
this quarter,..is a Table Land, and the country is,
perhaps, the strongest in the world, for every bill is,
in fact, a fortress, and, from their great height and
steepness, most difficult to be carried. The face of
the country presents a heavy close jungle ; the soil is
rich and fine, bearing a number of Teak trees, which
appear to be of a bastard kind, they are of no great
height, except some in the fort, which are of the size
of a moderate Mowrah, or Mango tree.
