Pagodas at Maugry with a Distant View of Sewandroog

‘These Pagodas are nearly equidistant between Sewan-droog and Ootradurgum. They are built upon an elevated spot, commanding a fine prospect of the country around, but have long since been abandoned, and are now falling to decay. Within the square which encloses them, are several Choultries, the walls and ceilings of which are curiously sculpted and painted. The Hindoo Deities are here depicted under a variety of allegorical forms, and particularly the God Vishnoo, whose numerous adventures and various incarnations are minutely displayed.’ This is how Robert Hyde Colebrook's travel compendium, Twelve Views of Places in the Kingdom of Mysore, described this work.
