INTERIOR OF A TEMPLE NEAR MUDDUNPORE.
Muddunpore is in the province of Bahar, and its situation is so recluse that it might have been expected the Hindoos here would have escaped the insolence of Mahomedan usurpation; unfortunately for them it happened otherwise, for after suffering in common with their countrymen from those intolerant invaders, they had the mortification to find their principal Temple, which is the subject of this view, polluted, and their sacred idols defaced. Muddunpore is distant from Patna in a S. W. direction about eighty miles.
