Basdeo Temple at Bijeh
A steep conical roof rises over a small round temple with an open lower arcade. Stones and low vegetation surround the base. The printed caption names the temple of Basdeo, or Vasuki, at Bijeh in the Chinab Valley. Oldham’s photograph makes the roof’s tapering outline and the building’s compact circular plan the defining features of the site.
