'List of Ancient Monuments in Bengal' (Calcutta, 1896), pp. 420-21: 'The temple of Jahnumuni is on the highest point of a rocky island in the Ganges. There are two others below. These are not in good condition, the one at the middle height being half fallen. Jehangira is a famous place of pilgrimage. There are some Buddhistic figures, and a bas relief of eight Bhairavas are in the uppermost temple.'
