famous Indian monasteries at Nalanda in Bahr, where Mr
Hiuen Tsang”s account of the elaborate and fantastic ornamentation of the
famous Indian monasteries at Nalanda in Bahr, where Mr. Broadley has
lately made such remarkable discoveries, seems to indicate that these
fantasies of Burmese and Chinese architecture may have had a direct origin
in India, at a time when timber was still a principal material of
construction there: ‘The pavilions had pillars adorned with dragons, and
posts that glowed with all the colours of the rainbow, sculptured frets,
columns set with jade, richly chiselled and lackered, with balustrades of
vermilion, and carved open work. The lintels of the doors were tastefully
ornamented, and the roofs covered with shining tiles, the splendours of
which were multiplied by mutual reflection and from moment to moment took
a thousand forms.’ (_Vie et Voyages_, 157.)
