Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 08/06/2016

An unspecified »cave« (note 1) of the dimension »20-15« (feet wide?) and »vacant« reported the Chakrata Tahsildar (1941.02.05 Mss) from a certain village of »Thudarhi Khera« (note 2) in one »Dasao khat« (gad, ghat, khad, khat = stream), which lies »ten miles« (16 km) on foot in an unspecified direction from Chakrata town (30°42'N: 77°51'E).

NOTE 1: Little doubt remains that all of the nine "caves" (Banayana, Bayala, Bhuchkoti, Lakha Mandal, Madak, Monuk, Rajanu Khera, Shaknai Khera, Thudarhi Khera), which the Tahsildar of Chakrata (1941.02.05 Mss) had recorded, represent rock shelters. NOTE 2: The village of »Thudarhi Khera« is not identified.
