Girnar is one of the oldest architectural sites in 
India, and no_w contains one copy of the edicts of 
Asoka, b.c. 250, carved on the rocks. The struc- 
tural buildings, however, are Contemporary with those 
of Palitana, which can be seen from it, and being 
more scattered and not so numerous, are not so pictur- 
esquely effective, though some of them are very 
beautiful in themselves. No buildings are now 
bemg erected there; Palitana having become the 
fashionable shrine.

The four frames (186 to 189) illustrate two temples 
erected by rieh merchants still living, and only eom- 
pleted, if they are complete, within the last few vears. 
They have not the richness of detail of the older 
examples, and want the vigour and picturesqueness 
of their predecessors, but they are rieh and beautiful 
examples of their dass and do infinite credit to the 
iiberality of their founders, and the taste displayed ! 
by their architects.

Kashmir. 
Elle architecture of Kashmir is so exceptional and 
so unlike anything in India, that like the styles of 
Nepal and Ceylon it hardly deserves a place in this 
Collection. Though its entire omission might per- 
haps be feit as a blank. 
The principal tempie in the valley is that at Mar- 
tund, said to be dedicated to the sun, and so far as its 
date can be ascertained the Contemporary of Bobanes- 
war and Iwullee, these three, consequently, being the 
oldest structural temples,—excluding Buddhist Topes, 
of course,—now to be found in India. 
The Takht-i-Soliman, though generally reputed as 
older, was probably erected in the middle of the 17th 
Century. 
Frame 192 contains examples of the wooden 
architecture still prevalent in the hills and valleys 
about Kashmir.

MAHOMEDAN ARCHITECTURE. 
The Disposition of the frames, necessary to suit the form of the Exhibition building i n 
this part ot the Indian department, would have rendered a strictly chronological arrange- 
meiit ot the photographs nearly impossible, had such been deemed desirable. In regard 
to Mahomedan architecture, however, this is of comparatively little importance. °The 
dates^ ot all the buildings are known.and the succession of styles is more easily traced in 
each individual group than if the whole were sorted out into one consecutive series. In 
this dass, therefore, it will be understood that the arrangement is generally more topo- 
graphical than dironological, though the latter has been attended to as far as possible in 
each individual group. 1
