EXCAVATION IN CHITOR FORT, DISTRICT CHITORGARH.--In the course of general clearance in the Mahasati enclosure four shrines and some ashes and charred bones were found. As rajput ladies are believed to have committed sati in this enclosure, three trenches were laid here by Shri S.R. Rao of the Western Circle of the Department to ascetain the truth of the tradition. Of the five structural Phases noticed, Phase I was marked by a small shrine flanked by two other shrines, the architectural features of which would roughly indicate the eleventh century as their date. In Phase II another shrine seems to have been constructed. To the same Phase belonged a stone pavement and two foundation-walls. Phases III and IV were important for the point under investigation. Three shrines pl. LII A and an oblong brick enclosure pl. LII B externally reinforced by rubble and internally plastered were laid bare. Within the enclosure, a 6-in. thick layer of ashes was noticed it was also seen that its mud floor was burnt. Close by were three pits full of ashes. Another interesting structure was a paved platform over which stood a sati-stone pl.LII C . Two other loose sati-stones were also found. |
