1500-year-old temple remains found near Agra, Uttar Pradesh

Bilsarh has been a protected site since 1928, and it was formerly considered a significant Gupta era site. "There were two ornamental pillars (at the location) that were near to one other and had human sculptures on them (found earlier). We dug further to learn more about their importance and discovered the steps "Vasant Swarnkar, the ASI's Agra circle's superintending archaeologist, agreed. "In Shankhalipi, we discovered something inscribed on it. It was decoded as 'Sri Mahendraditya,' which was the title of the Gupta dynasty's Kumaragupta I." Shankhalipi is an elaborate, stylized ancient script that was employed for names and signatures between the 4th and 8th century CE.
During a "routine" clean-up, the finding was made. The ASI began cleaning its protected sites around the time of the monsoon. There's a lot of overgrowths that has to be removed. This time, Swarnkar claimed, he was observing the cleaning and suggested the area should be investigated, when the ASI discovered old stairs leading to a temple.
The writing discovered on the Etah skeletons has previously been discovered on a horse statue in Lakhimpur Kheri. It is presently on display in Lucknow's State Museum. But that wasn't enough to convince me. As a result, Swarnkar forwarded photographs of the inscriptions to Dr. Devendra Handa, a renowned epigraphist. At the same time, ASI officials travelled to Lucknow to re-examine the inscription on the horse statue. Shankhalipi was, in fact, Shankhalipi, according to both of them. The bones were dated to Kumaragupta 1's reign because of the inscription.
