No inhabitants are now to be found within the extensive walls of this magnificent fortress.' The ruins of the ancient temple of Rohitesvara crown the bluff, approached by its great stair, while the five-domed temple of Harsichandra may be seen beyond. The ancient and vast fort of Rohtasgarh is perched on top of the Kaimur Hills where they approach closest to the river Son in south Bihar.
