Massacre Ghaut, Cawnpore, 1868. The Suttee Chowrah Ghaut, or wharf, at Cawnpore [present-day Kanpur], is a place of hideous memory...The following description of the place is taken from Mr. W. H. Russells "Diary in India"..."The road by which the procession marched to the boats goes past our camp; I followed it, past ruined bungalows, till I came to a bridge over a dry watercourse, by the side of which a path deeply indented in the earth struck off to the left down to the river. The nullah expanded as it neared the stream and its naked sides assumed an appearance of verdure at its junction with the Granges. A Hindoo temple stands on the high ground over the river, embedded in trees; thick groves fringe the slope of the banks and hide the few native cottages which overlook the current". From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
