Chengoo or Sengoo-Oung.. Artist(s): Grant, Colesworthy (1813-1880)
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Chengoo or Sengoo-Oung.’
AFTER four hours further journeying the traveller reaches Chengoo Oung, also on the east bank, where, on a platform surrounded by a parapet, a strikingly picturesque, rather novel shaped, and ornamented Pagoda (the subject of this sketch) crowns a commanding point of the high bank, and forms a very pictorial and prominent landmark.
Vast quantities of petrified wood were here found lying about in every direction. The Palmyra appeared growing in perfection, and, in front of a kioum, surprise was felt on finding two remarkably fine cocoa-nut trees; it having been long since that tree had been met with. The poor, however, complained of the poverty of the soil, from which Rice was not obtainable, and they were about to try the cultivation of Maize.
This was the last place visited before arrival at the far famed Pugàn.
