"Majhaul at the present day possesses but few antiquities, Indeed, the only ones worth mentioning are an image of the Mahishasuramardini Durga, lying under a tree near the Raja's palace, and a ruined shrine of Dirghëšvara Mahadéva of unknown date, situated among a mass of ancient remains a little to the east of the town. Majhauli must have been a place of some importance in past ages, if, as suggested by Dr. Fleet, it should prove to be the place where Buddha crossed the Anuma. It is true that some four miles from Majhauli near the railway line between the stations of Salémpur and Bhatni there is a small but ancient village called Anuümpar meaning "across the Anuma” or more freely “the crossing of the Anuma,” which may well be an арabramsa of Anuma, but the absence of апу stream of such a name anywhere in the neighbourhood offers a difficulty in the way of the identification, The channel running past the village is called Рusi. Nor does the locality show any remains which can be called Buddhist."
