इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
It is situated on a hill top in Bhimili town where excavations by the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Andhra Pradesh, rusulted in the discvery of a vihara consisting of five cells having purna kalasa motifs on either side of each entrance cell of the viharas. Trial digs near the tank just by the side of dilapidated Dutch building brought to light small votive stupas of different sizes over a big brick-paved platform. The early historic pottery consisted of fine black-and-red ware, red-slipped ware, black ware and decorated potsherds. Interestingly, two Brahmi label inscriptions near the tank readine Kumarika and Kuvana Siri Ganga Usha Sa Maha Tataka Chhata Maha Padanam help in dating the site tentatively to the second century BC. |
