Excerpt from Report of Tours in the Gangetic Provinces From Badaon to Bihar, in 1875-76 and 1877-78, Vol. 11

Gangetic Provinces in 1877-78. In this report I have described many curious and interesting remains of Hindu architecture and sculpture of all ages. Of the old Buddhis tic times, there are the ancient mounds of Panch Pahari, or the Five hills, close to Patna, from whence Akbar viewed the city when he was besieging Daud Shah, the last king of Bengal. Of the same age are the old temples and stupas of Sravasti and Tandwa. Of the indo-scythian period, there is a very curious group of sculpture from Tusaran Bihar, near Allahabad. Of the Gupta age, there are the two inscribed stone pillars at Bilsar, in the Doab, recording the name of Kumara Gupta, with the early date of Sambat 96 of the Gupta era. Of a later period, there are some very curious and interesting illustrations in the brick temples of Bhitar gaon, Paraoli, and Rar, near Cawnpore, with their vaulted roofs and terra-cotta bas-reliefs.
