RAJE GAUT, THE PRINCIPAL ROAD UP TO ROTAS GHUR, BAHAR.

Rotas Ghur is the most considerable hill fort in this part of India; it is naturally of great strength, and the weaker parts have been assisted by very strong works. Within the fort are the remains of several Hindoo temples, Mahommedan mosques, a palace, and other public buildings, in which frequent examples of excellent architecture occur. The mountain on the top of which it stands is said to be above eight hundred feet in height, and more than twenty miles in circumference. The river Soane washes its base to the south east.

Rotas Ghur is about three hundred and forty miles N. W. from Calcutta.
