The site was superficially excavated by Bhandarkar in the second decade of the century (Bhandarkar, 1920) and limitedly but more systematically by K.V. Soundara Rajan of the ASI in 1962-3 (*IAR 1962-3*, p. 19). Out of the large number of loose sculptures found by Bhandarkar two are carved pillars of the Gupta period having lion and bull capitals respectively. The others comprise old railings, coping stones and a sculpture representing Revanta on horse. Moulded bricks showing ripple and date-palm decorations, the lower part of a human figure seated on a chair, lotus, flying birds and human heads formed the architectural components of the temple.
