Drawing of Manikyala Stupa based on how Mountstuart Elphinstone observed it in 1809.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English:

Tope is an expression used for a mound or burrow as far west as Peshawer, and Maunicyaula is the name of an adjoining village. The drawing was made at Poona under my direction, from sketches made by different gentlemen on the day after our visit to Maunicyaula. In such circumstances, minute accuracy cannot be expected, but the general idea conveyed by the drawing is I think correct.
