  • Musoleum of Sultan Purveiz, near Allahabad The remains of Sultan Purveiz, the son of the Emperor Jehangire, were here deposited about the year 1626.' The identification of the tomb is actually uncertain and it is now believed to be that of his sister Nithar Begum (d. 1624/5). It is a building of typical Mughal style, a cube crowned by a dome on a terrace, with many wall niches, slender portals in the middle of each side and slim chhatris or pavilions. In the main building is only a cenotaph; the entrance at the lower level leads to the actual tomb of the princess.

  • View from the ruins of the fort of Currah, Kara to the north-west of Allahabad on the river Ganges was an important political centre in mediaeval India, which declined when Akbar moved the centre of provincial government to Allahabad in 1583.

  • The Sacred Tree of the Hindoos at Gyah, Bahar, May 1796 By the natives this favourite Tree is called the Baur, and by Europeans the Banyan. It is a species of the fig, and bears a small red fruit. In every village they are to be met with. Small temples are usually built under them, where frequently may be observed fragments of mutilated idols, the work of Mahommedan intolerance, which are again often collected by the patient Hindoos, and, though defaced, are still regarded with veneration. This Tree, the Bramins assure the people, proceeds from another more sacred one, which is growing within a very ancient temple, under ground, in the fort of Allahabad; and, notwithstanding the distance is not less than two hundred miles, the story obtains an easy belief from credulous devotees, who cheerfully pay the sacred fee that admits them to a ceremonial adoration of it. Gyah is near three hundred miles N. W. from Calcutta.
