Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Jethur

by Joseph David Freedone Melik Beglar

JETHUR.

On the west bank of the Chándan river, the ancient Champavati, and about 20 miles south of Bhâgalpur, is a hill with a small temple; here was found a single line of inscription on what was called the Charana of Narayana, dated Samvat 1053. The place, therefore, must have been of some importance as early as the tenth century of our era, the place and hill are named Jethur.
