Gronneman, a celebrated writer and archæologist and an accepted authority, believes that a number of monuments and bo-trees have within a few years been hewn out around the base of each of the temples, these being covered with the traditional parasols; many of the dagoba-shaped bells have also been found, a symbol of the tree under which Prince Siddhartha attained Buddha-hood. Dr.
Gronneman also calls them Prambanam. The ruins form a group of eight temples or chandis, three greater and three lesser ones in two parallel rows, the former on the west, the latter on the east side of the spacious square, with two smaller ones at the ends. These were doubtless mausolea built over the ashes of princes or chiefs.
