THE COTSEA BHAUG, ON THE RIVER JUMNA, AT DELHI.
Cotesa Bhaug, so called from the bhaug, or garden, within this quadrangular building, which was erected by the Cotsea Begum, a Mohammedan lady, in the reign of the Emperor Akbar, about two hundred years since. It is built with stone, and covered in part with stucco of a very durable nature. The apartments receive light principally from the garden side, excepting the octangular projections at the angles. The roof is smoothly terraced, and commands a fine view of the city of Delhi and the river Jumna. The garden, in which beds of flowers and fountains are interspersed, is laid out in straight walks paved with freestone. On the south side adjoining the outer wall, there is a mosque, and on the north is the grand entrance to the Cotsea Bhaug.
