拍品專文

The Daniells reached the bridge Udhuanala near Rajmahal, on 9 October 1788. They visited Chainpur, on 22 January 1790. Mandesvara, near Chainpur, was a sacred site in the same district as Bhagwanpur, some way to the south of Ramgarh, in spite of the inscription on the reverse of the drawing that suggests the temple was close to Ramgarh.
