THE SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH
TEMPLES |
|
|
| The
red-stone Third Temple was a distinctive structure of large dimensions. We found the
retaining wall of this temple. On the southern side of the temple, the sloping level of
the imbedded stones showed that the temple-wall had fallen. Its entrance steps had been
broken by violence. There are traces also of some stones having been burnt. Violent hands
had been laid on the Third Temple; parts of it had fallen, some broken, others burnt.
This, therefore, was the temple which Mahmud Ghazni demolished. |
