Lio [Li]. Ruined castle. Photographer: Pindi Lal (Archaeological Survey of India).
- Scope & Content:
-
Distant view of ruins on a hill top. Francke (1914), p. 30: 'On the 22nd July we arrived at the village of Li which looks very beautiful with its many green fields and apricot trees in the midst of a chaos of bare rocky mountains. Li is probably a place with a grander past than present ... On a steep rock on the bank of the river are the ruins of an ancient castle, mkhar. People told me that theyhad formerly to live on that rock (probably before 1650, when they came under Bashahr). They left the rock on account of many accidents in consequence of their getting drunk. I visited the site, but saw nothing beyond heaps of loose stones with fragments of rude pottery. Some of the rooms can still be traced.'
