Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal 1858

1859

The design of Akbar was carried out by his son and we may reasonably consider the date of the compltion of the Motee Mundur; formerly Motee Musjeed as the date of the completion of the palace. [...] The inscription may however allude to the Sheesh Drlul ul with which the gate communicated by a tramp constructed for the use of the elephants who conveyed the ladies of the Harem to and from their apartments. [...] The gateway on the eastern side of the quadrangle now stands out isolated in handsome relief at the top of a noble flight of steps facing the western entrance of the fort ; prudential motives having removed the cloistering on either side so as to leave the terrace open to sight from the fort walls. [...] The mosque served for dpwards of forty and odd years as a magzine both to Runjeet Singh and the British Government but the ordnance stores have within the last three years been removed into the fort and the mosque restored to the Musalmans of Lahore. [...] The central region commencing in the plains below the lower slopes of the bills embraces the entire area outside the bills drained by the Gauges and Mfilifinadi to the east the Nurbudda and Taptee to the west nud the Indus and its tributaries to the north_ west a largo and impor?ant area but of a richness by no means commensurate with its extent.
