________________ MONUMENTS & SCULPTURE A.D. 1300 TO 1800 (PART VI likely to antedate 1800. An 1827-description of Parasnath, quoted in E. Lister, Bihar and Orissa District Gazetteers, Hazaribagh, Patna, 1917, says in 1765 Shougal Chand Jagat Seth of Murshidabad erected here a Parsvanātha temple roofed with five fluted domes, the central one the largest. It therefore conformed to the style described in this chapter. Even this temple, according to T. Bloch, Annual Report of the Archaeological Survey of India, Bengal Circle, 1902.03, Calcutta, 1903, p. 13, was destroyed by lightining some time ago and the present one evidently was put up only recently.- Editor.)
