c9.s6.2

The temple of Renukā Devī is quite a modern building and would not be noticed here were it not for two curious wooden images found at it. There is one feature, however, connected with the temple, which may be mentioned, and that is the fine broad flight of steps leading up to it. At the foot of this is a collection of miniature flights of steps, of five steps each, carved on small square loose blocks of stone, which have been left here by pilgrims as votive offerings, but with what object it is not clear. (Plates LXIV—LXVI.)
