These rooms, belonging to \*c.\* 300 B.C., may have served as privies. Evidence of bath-rooms is also available at sites like KUMRAHAR, TRIPURĪ, and VAIŚĀLĪ. The monastic caves of w. India have cisterns attached with them; the small platforms besides these cisterns were probably used as bathing platforms by the monks. - [Previous: v1.c19.s5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s5.3) - [Next: v1.c19.s6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s6.1) - [Up: v1.c19.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s5) ## Linked texts (2) - [Vaiśālī](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.vaisali) - [Kumrahar](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kumrahar) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s5.4) · Pramāṇa
