"Lofty and amazing were the seventeen tower-like temples of Sarnath, fashioned
of a bright multi-coloured stone not known elsewhere. A full thousand cubits high stood the
greatest among them, wherein the high-priests dwelt with a magnificence scarce less than that
of the kings. On the ground were halls as vast and splendid as those of the palaces; where gathered
throngs in worship of Zo-Kalar and Tamash and Lobon, the chief gods of Sarnath, whose incense-enveloped
shrines were as the thrones of monarchs."
H.P. Lovecraft, The Doom That Came To Sarnath
