Chunargarh, or Chunar, was a well-known landmark on the journey up and down the Ganges and many of the British stopped to explore the various buildings there. By the Daniells' time, the old Mughal fort on the cliff-top was used by the British as a European invalid station for wounded and sick soldiers. Archer op. cit.
