Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Sihári and Deokut
Sihári is a small village 8 miles to the west of Koneh; here is a comparatively modern temple and some fragments. I have not visited the place, but I believe Mr. Peppe took photographs of the remains here.
Deokut is a small village on the Dháwá, a small stream flowing from the Murhar into the Punpun. I have heard that it contains remains of statues, &c., but have not seen the place myself.
The Mándá hills are situated about 12 miles west of Phahrá, a large village on the Murhar, and south of Deokut, near the Dháwá river; the remains here consist simply of statues, and have been noticed by Kittoe, J. A. S., 1847, page 278. I did not see the place.
Bhuráhá is a small village 2 miles east of the Mándá hills. It is noticed by Kittoe in J. A. S., 1847, page 277. I did not see the place. There were, he says, several chaityas and vihâras here, and here are also some springs of mineral waters, to which no doubt the place owes its ancient importance.
