Deo is a small village in the neighbourhood of Gya, in the province of Bahar. The Temple is dedicated to Seeva, and reported to be of considerable antiquity, although from the nature of the material of which it is built, (being of hard grey granite) it is but little impaired by time: a coping, however, projecting from above the pilasters, had evidently, at some former period, sheltered the entrance; the ornamental parts in some places have likewise given way. It appears to have had formerly a covering of stucco, the remaining part of which is become of a much darker colour than the stone.
