**The Great Tower, Courtyard and gates :—**The largest edifice at Bhuvaneśvara is the Great Tower. It stands amidst a large courtyard surrounded by a high wall, and is about 300 yards distant from, and to the south of, the Vindu Sāgara tank. The courtyard is bounded on the east by the road leading to Kapileśvara; on the north, by a broad highway called *Barādaṇḍ*; on the south by a large spot of land now overgrown with jungle, but formerly the site of a palace whose remains are still traceable; and on the west by several small temples and their courtyards, mostly in ruins.
