The two tallest mounds, one in AC I and the other in AC II, turned out on clearance to be terraced temples of brick, each terrace made on foundation cells round a square frame, filled with earth. Both of them underwent many restorations and extensions resulting in the increase of their dimensions. The larger of them was founded on a layer with typical Stratum IV (Kushan) pottery and could not therefore have been founded before the early Gupta age. Loose in its debris were found a large number of carved bricks and a few terracotta sculptured panels that once adorned the walls of the temples. A pair of highly artistic life-size Gaṅgā and Yamunā figures was evidently placed at the entrance.
