v1.c19.s17.11

From the plan (Woodcut No. 239), it may be inferred that when this wall was erected the court was considerably enlarged to the north and west. The temples inside are all mean and insignificant, and, though older than the outer enclosure, they are not of earlier date than the 16th century, and probably represent the shrines hurriedly restored after some raid of iconoclastic Muhammadans.¹ The court is partly occupied by rows of corridors for the accommodation of pilgrims; but most of the buildings are in a state of decay and ruin.
