excavated the ruins as building material for the railway project. Of the
monuments, the Kankali Devi Temple is most notable and is a Gupta
period temple. It is one of the oldest surviving Hindu
temples, illustrating the formative stages of Hindu sacred architecture and
the essential elements found in the north Indian style through the modern era.
