Description
English: Plate 4, Ancient towers at Bhaugulpore.

The Digambara Jain temple at Champapur.

The site at Champapur, the capital of the ancient province of Anga, just west of Bhagalpur, is associated with the 12th Jain Tirthankara, Basupujya. The temple was in fact a Jain one apparently renovated in the 18th century by the great banking family of Jagat Seth. The ancient pillars were a cause of much speculation at the time but are thought to be Kirtistambha or Pillars of Fame.
