There
was also found a stone slab with Brahmi script of the Valabhi period (6th and 7th
century). Names of the craftsmen were carved on almost every stone. In spite of the passing of eight centuries, the foundation had not
sunk at any place.
The foundation of the garbhagriha when excavated, was found
to be laid on sand at a depth of over 13 feet from the outside ground level; the
brahmashila however, was placed upon a square masonry going down as deep as the
foundations themselves and filled with rubble and stones to prevent it from sinking into
the sand. |
