Resumo
Figure of Buddha, seated in Padmasana (lotus) position, with smaller images carved on the slab behind. 'About a mile and a half from Kispa to the north-east, there is a village called Genjan on the top of a large mound. Here there is a very fine statue of Buddha the ascetic, with representations of the birth, teaching, and death or Nirvana of Sakya Singh in small figures surrounding it. This is one of the best-executed sculptures in the district; and although much mutilated and broken, it is of considerable interest' (descriptive notes by T. F.
