VIEW OF PART OF ROTAS GHUR, IN BAHAR.
This view of Rotas Ghur was taken nearly at the top of the mountain within the works. A temple of the Hindoos, with a considerable flight of steps, formerly crowned the eminence on the left; the upper part of which has been thrown down by the Mahommedans, who erected a mosque near to it, and which in its turn is also become a ruin. No inhabitants are now to be found within the extensive walls of this magnificent fortress.
There are two gauts, or ways of ascent, to the fort, which are made tolerably easy by stone steps; the one called raje gaut (which is the superior), the other acbarpore gaut, which takes its name from the village of Acbarpore, near the foot of the mountain.
