(10) " Chaityas or Assembly halls—These in Buddhist art correspond in every respect with the churches of the Christian religion. Their plans, the position of the altar or relic-casket, the aisles, and other peculiarities are the same in both, and their uses are identical, in so far as the ritual forms of the one religion resemble those of the other." (Fergusson, Hist. of Ind. and East. Arch. pp. 50-51).
