PLATE IV., p. 23.
“VIEW OF THE CHAITYA AND OTHER BUILDINGS ON THE SUMMIT OF THE SWAYAMBHU HILL.
At the top of the staircase stands the large brazen bajra, mentioned in the Introduction (p. 24). The buildings to the extreme right and left give a good idea of the houses occupied by the lower and middle classes in the towns. In front are groups of worshippers, Newaris and Bhotiyas; one of the latter is twirling in his hand a small prayer-cylinder.” |
