Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A cave that starts with an collapse lies a place called Ichinda (or so), somewhere in the vicinity of Rajdoha (note 1), the ancient copper mining town about 15 km in a direct line approximately south-east of Jamshedpur (N22°48': E086°11'). CAVE DESCRIPTION: A place called Bagh Ghura [Bagh Ghara], or Tiger's House, where it was believed that a tiger was in the habit of dwelling. The place was picturesquely situated on the banks of a small stream, the trees growing on each bank of which joined their branches together above, and were further bound together by a number of large creepers. The tiger's den was under an overhanging ledge of rock. It looked a likely place enough, but if ever inhabited by a tiger the proprietor on this occasion was not at home (BALL, V 1880 edited 1985: 147).A cave that starts with an collapse lies a place called Ichinda (or so), somewhere in the vicinity of Rajdoha (note 1), the ancient copper mining town about 15 km in a direct line approximately south-east of Jamshedpur (N22°48': E086°11').
