GATE LEADING TO A MUSJED, AT CHUNAR GUR.
Chunar Gur, formerly an Hindoo fort of considerable consequence, and now in the possession of the East India Company, is situated on the western bank of the Ganges, about four hundred and sixty-nine miles N. W. from Calcutta.
The effect of this Gate, at a distance, is grand, from the bold projection of its superior parts; and its ornaments, though numerous, are applied with so much art and discretion, as to form the happiest union of beauty and grandeur.
