THE MAUSOLEUM OF MUCDOOM SHAH DOWLUT, AT MONEAH, ON THE RIVER SOANE.

The Mausoleum of Mucdoom Shah is celebrated for its beauty; it was built at the beginning of the sixteenth century, in the reign of the Emperor Jehangire, by Mucdoom Shah, who was chief of the district.

A small but neat mosque is attached to it, as well as a very considerable tank and garden.

The town Moneah is situated on the east bank of the Soane, nearly at the junction of that river with the Ganges, about twenty-five miles westward from the city of Patna.
