[Footnote 248: Voyages are still regularly made in dhows between the west coast of India and Zanzibar or Mombasa and the trade appears to be old.]

[Footnote 260: When visiting Badami, Paṭṭadkal and Aihole in 1912 I noted the following resemblances between the temples of that district and those of Camboja. (_a_) The chief figures are Harihara, Vâmana and Nṛisiṃha. At Paṭṭadkal, as at Angkor Wat, the reliefs on the temple wall represent the Churning of the Sea and scenes from the Râmâyana. (_b_) Large blocks of stone were used for building and after being put in their positions were carved _in situ_, as is shown by unfinished work in places. (_c_) Medallions containing faces are frequent. (_d_) The architectural scheme is not as in Dravidian temples, that is to say larger outside and becoming smaller as one proceeds towards the interior. There is generally a central tower attached to a hall. (_e_) The temples are often raised on a basement. (_f_) Mukhalingas and kośhas are still used in worship. (_g_) There are verandahs resembling those at Angkor Wat. They have sloping stone roofs, sculptures in relief on the inside wall and a series of windows in the outside wall. (_h_) The doors of the Linga shrines have a serpentine ornamentation and are very like those of the Bayon. (_i_) A native gentleman told me that he had seen temples with five towers in this neighbourhood, but I have not seen them myself.]
