‘Some of the pagodas have in the centre of each face a flight of steps leading to the upper terraces, and on the level of the first platform an arch-way similar to the examples in Boro-Budur. In one or two cases also there are porches in front of each flight of steps, cruciform in plan, similar to those of the temples of Cambodia.’⁵
