Similar boats have also been found at Jhalukbari in the Gauhati Univ. campus. Perhaps they were meant for enshrining mortal remains and have no parallels anywhere else. - [Previous: v1.c9.s19.t1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s19.t1.14) - [Next: v1.c9.s19.t1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s19.t1.16) - [Up: v1.c9.s19.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s19.t1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s19.t1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s19.t1.15) · Pramāṇa
