VIHARA No. 15.—AJUNTA.
NUMBER 15 is a small plain Cave, the interior of which was till very recently filled up with mud, which had washed in from a torrent above, so as to render it inaccessible. To the same cause it may perhaps be ascribed that the pillars of the verandah have fallen down and been obliterated. This Cave has now apparently been cleaned out, but no description of it has reached this country; and owing to the causes above-mentioned, its external appearance presents nothing remarkable, except the sculpture of its doorway, which appears to have been executed with considerable care, and in a good style of art.
