AS I SAW IT

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.
