Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 17/04/2016

An unspecified »cave« (note 1) of the dimension »20-15« (feet?) where »cattle live« (human use: cow shed) reported the Chakrata Tahsildar (1941.02.05 MSS) from a certain Madak village (note 2) in one »Missao khat« (gad, ghat, khad, khat = stream), 2 km on foot in an unspecified direction from Chakrata (30°42'N: 77°51'E).

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 17/04/2016

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 »Madak« is not identified.
