| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
Out of the four mounds at the site, called here GLG- 1, to IV, three GLG-1 to III , situated very close to each other, were taken up for operation this year. At GLG-1, the excavation, covering 18 trenches, each measuring 5.50 X 5.50 m., revealed a temple-complex, consisting of a gorbhagriha, an antarala and a mukhamadapa. Several unfinished carvings, rapresenting door jambs, lintels, depicting chaitya gavaksha desingns, were found in a mutilated condition in and around the adhishana. The adhisthana basement of the temple was essentially plain pl. VIII A with a modulatd crescendo on the top. In the middle part, however, were depicted chaitya window motifs at regular intervals. The superstructure was found to be completely missing. The garbhagriha, measuring 8.50 X 5.35 m. and the mukhamandapa, measuring 11.2 m. square, were connected by an antarala. Both in the gorbhagriha and the antarala, lime-plastered floors, laid over granite slabs were met with. At the southern end, a slopy brick wall of ten courses, running in east-west direction to a length of 9 meters, was met with. The exact nature of this wall, however, still remains to be ascertained. At GLG- 11, the excavation brought to light the foundations of two temples in addition to four pillar-bases and a lime plastered floor. At GLG- III, the excavation revealed the existence of a well-planned Jaina shrine, comprising a sanctum, enshrining a seated headless Mahavira pl. VIII B , in padmasana posture, and a mukhamandapa. Besides, excavaton in the adjoining area also exposed remains of another temple built of stone and brick. The temple-complex consisted of a garbhagriha, mukhamandapa and mahamandapa. The outer walls of the temple were mostly fragmentary nature. The entire foundation was laid in brick and mud mortar. The brick adhisthana was plastered with lime, depicting floral designs. Over and above the stucco designs, ran a row of plaster motifs crowning double and single chaitya arches surmounted by a row of swans. The thinly plastered wall, rising 1.25 m. in height, had recesses at regular intervals for fixing perforated screens. |
