OBJECTS OF THE EXCAVATIONS AND A
SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS |
|
|
As
already stated, the history of this temple suffers from lack of material evidence. The
recent "opening up" of the problem by about a month's digging does claim to
reduce the proportions of the lacunae in our knowledge. The excavations, however, were
regulated mainly by two objectives: (a) to ascertain the succession of structural periods
or phases and to correlate them stratigraphically with other known or partly-known
features and (b) to prove or disprove the hypothesis that the temple destroyed by Sultan
Mahmud of Ghazni lay somewhere near the Bhida temple.3
