2 in the Plate, extending along the Fortress, was occupied by the Ladies
3 of the Harem. On the south, were formerly, the ammunition mag-
4 azines, the gunstock manufactory, and the gunfoundry ; behind these
5 were the royal stables.
6 No. 6 is that part of the Fortress called Summurn Boorj ; where, in
7 the winter season, the Durbar (State-council) frequently assembled.
8 - No. 7 is the western Entrance from the royal garden, called Hazoor-
9 eebagh.
10 No. 8 is the royal Flower-garden ; in the centre of which stands an
11 elegant marble building (erected by Runjeet Sing) wherein the Durbar
12 occasionally met. To this Garden there were four Entrances ; the
13 eastern, from the Fortress ; the western, from the royal Mosque ; the
14 northern, from the Parade ; and the southern, from the City.
15 No. 9 is the fatal Gateway, above the inner extremity of which stood
16 the parapet that was dashed down upon No-Nehal Sing (the Heir- appa-
17 rent) and Meean Oodum Sing (Maharajh Gholab Sing’s eldest son) as
18 recorded on page 102.
19 No. 10 is the Entrance from the royal Flower-garden, up a flight of
20 magnificent stone steps, to the Mosque, named Badshai Musjit.
21 No. 11 is one of the four colossal Minarets of the royal Mosque ;
22 below which Runjeet Sing, his son Kurruck Sing, and his son No-
23 Nehal Sing, together with their numerous Wives, were burned, and a
24 splendid tomb erected on the spot, with a Cupola in sight, wherein the
25 Grunth (holy-book of the Sikhs) is read by the priests.
26 No. 12 is the large Court of the royal Mosque, which was occupied
27 by Sheer Sing, for three days, during the blockade of the Fortress,
28 v. page 106.
29 No. 13 is the royal Mosque itself, Badshai Musjit ; which, informer
30 times, was devoted by the Mahomedan kings to Divine-worship ; but
31 which the Sikhs appropriated to an Arsenal ; and their example has,
32 I believe, been followed by the English.
33 No. 14 — Below this No. is an arm of the river Ravee ; which, in the
34 dry-season has scarcely any water. To the right hand of this No. is
35 an extensive Wall, beyond which stands an Artillery establishment.
