Cf. "They (tombs of the Rājās at Mahadēvapura in Coorg from 1809) are square buildings, much in the Muhammadan style, on well-raised basements, with a handsome dome in the centre, and minaret-like turrets at the four corners (? Karṇa-harmya) surmounted by basavas or bulls. On the top of the dome is a gilded ball, with a vane. All the windows have well-carved syenite frames with solid brass bars . . . . . Good wood-carving may sometimes be seen in the domestic architecture." (Ep. Carnat. vol. I. Introduction, p. 27, last paragraph).
