... is not a Fiscal Division in Orissa without its community of cenobites, scarcely a village without fertile abbey lands, and not a single ancient family which has not devoted its best acres to the gods. Hundreds of monasteries dot the province, and enjoy an aggregate rent-roll of ;^50,ooo a year.^^ Every town is filled with temples, and every hamlet has its shrine. This lavish devotion extends into the hill-country.
