S. E. VIEW OF THE FAKEER'S ROCK IN THE RIVER GANGES, NEAR SULTAUNGUNGE.

This assemblage of rocks has been long considered as one of the most sacred places on the River Ganges, and much resorted to by the religious Hindoos, not only for its reported sanctity, but on account of a much celebrated figure of Náráyan, over which is erected a building, probably, either to honour or preserve the idol. There are several other figures of Náráyan to be seen here, as well as those of Seeva, Vichnou, and Sooroj.
