Structures of both these periods have been laid bare; they are built of stone rubble set in mud. But more interesting are the polychrome glass bangles of the Bahmanī period which were commercially manufactured at Kolhapur. In the 16th century the w. part of the habitation was destroyed by floods of the Panchaganga, and in 1701 Aurangzeb filled in the low-lying areas with rubble and constructed walls of huge boulders over the site. It was occupied for a brief period but was again deserted. - [Previous: v2.c29.1087](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1087) - [Next: v2.c29.1089](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1089) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1088](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1088) · Pramāṇa
