(ABU, ABEJE, ARUGHAD,) a celebrated mountain of Rajpootana, in India, rising from a very broad base, to an elevation of 5000 feet above the level of the sea, N. Lat. 42° 40', E. Long. 72° 48'. Its elevations and platforms are covered with shrines, temples, castles, and tombs, adorned with sculptures and statues, relieved at intervals by wild and beautiful scenery. On the very top is a small round platform containing a cavern, with a block of granite, bearing the impression of the feet of Data-Briga, (an incarnation of Vishnu,) which is the grand object of pilgrimage to the Jains, Shrawaks, and Banians. But in that part of the mountain called Dailwarra, or Dewulwarra, (the region of temples,) are four Jain temples, all of marble, and two of them of the richest kind. One of these, indeed, is considered the most superb of all the temples of India, to which no edifice but the Taj-Mahal, at Agra, can be compared. It is sacred to Vrishabdeva, the first of the Jains, was erected by Bimul Sal, a merchant of Auhulwarra, and attracts pilgrims from every part of India. The principal building is surrounded by numerous smaller temples, the chief features of which are not mere vastness and solidity. Their merits consist rather in the proportions, the endless variety and richness of their sculptures, their long colonnades and vaulted roofs, which bear evidence not only of unbounded wealth in the founders, but also of high refinement in the arts.—Colonel Tod's Travels in Western India.
