The temples depieted in frames 135 to 139 are all 
situated near to one another in the province of Behar, 
but ränge in date through very nearly 1,000 years. 
The temples at Konch may be nearly as old as that 
at Bobeneswar, while the Vishnu-pud at Gya was 
erected only at the end of the last Century. There 
is, of course, a considerable gradation of style 
between them, but the main features are the same 
throughout.

The great Temple at Bindrabund is one of the 
most remarkable of its dass. 1t was built by the 
celebrated Jey Sing of Jeypoor, at a time when 
Akbar’s influence was so great as almost to eifect a 
fusion between the styles of the Hindus and Ma- 
homedans. The roof is vaulted, and the Orna 
ments are almost identical with those in Akbar’s 
palace at Futtehpore Sikri.to be deseribed hereafter. 
The Observatory at Benares (141) is another example 
of the same sort. Rajali Amehti’s Temple and the 
Sumeree Temple at Ramnuggur belong to the pre 
sent Century.

The Nassick Temples, 143 to 145, are all modern 
but fine specimens of their dass. The oldest of 
those illustrated in tliese frames is certainly not 200 
years old, and may be less. The other considerably 
more modern. Yet they are four bold specimens 
of modern Hindu architecture.

The Palace at Deig was the favourite residence of 
the Rajas of Bhurtpore when they rose to power on 
the ruins of the Delhi empire in the middle of the 
last Century, and with their Tombs atGoverdhun, form, 
perhaps, the most pleasing architeetural group to be 
found in India of so modern a date. All its features 
may be traced back to the Mahomedan styles, but 
with very considerable modifications, though it can- 
not be said these were always improvements. 
The tombs and temples of Scindia’s family (148, 
149) are also pleasing examples of the very latest 
form of Hindu architecture, though tliis remark does 
not apply to his palace, which betrays a European 
influence which has proved fatal to native art in 
India.

The temples and palaces of Umritsur owe their 
existence to the late Maharajah Rungeet Sing, and 
though devoid of the purity and good taste of earlier 
days, are still picturesque, and display a good deal of 
invention and appropriateness of detail. Their being 
mostly gilded adds very much to their splendour, 
though hardly in a legitimate manner.
