¹¹⁷ This and all other information about Ahicchatra has been received by the courtesy of Dr. R. E. Mortimer Wheeler, Director General of Archaeology in India, through Mr. A. Ghosh, Superintendent of Archaeology, Excavations Branch, who writes: "Of the two most prominent temples at Ahicchatra, one was more or less completely explored, while the other and bigger one had to be abandoned before it could be fully understood. There are some other temples. . . . Both the temples underwent several repairs and restorations, resulting in horizontal and vertical increases in their dimensions. In all their stages, however, they are square in plan with projections on the west for flights of steps.
