RAMNUGUR, NEARLY OPPOSITE BERNARES, ON THE RIVER GANGES.
Ramnugur is a fort built by Rajah Bulwunt Sing, and considerably improved by his son Cheyt Sing. Near to this fort the latter Rajah began to erect a temple for the Hindoo worship, the basement story only of which is completed; it is of freestone, and much admired for the richness of its ornamental parts, and the very extraordinary degree of sharpness and precision in their execution.
Ramnugur is about three miles above Bernares.
