No. VI.

AN INSIDE VIEW OF THE PRECEDING TEMPLE (No. V.) AT DEO, IN BAHAR.

The inside of this building, like the outside, is altogether formed of grey granite; but does not appear to have been incrusted with stucco. In the centre of the ceiling is a sculptured Lotus, supporting an iron chain, to which several bells are attached: it being customary for the Hindoos to give notice of their approach to the sacred apartment by ringing of bells.
