During the digging for the foundation for some of the buildings in the area a number of sculptures were accidentally found. Many of them have been identified as depicting episodes from the \*Rāmāyaṇa\*, whereas one is an early representation of Andhakāsuravadha-mūrti Śiva. Stylistically they can be dated to the late 4th and early 5th centuries. Besides there is an exquisite life-size image of Gaṅgā, having on its pedestal a label inscription \*Gaṅgā bhagavatī\* in 6th-century characters. - [Previous: v2.c42.317](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.317) - [Next: v2.c42.319](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.319) - [Up: v2.c42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42) ## Cites (1) - [Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.valmiki) — Vālmīki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.318](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.318) · Pramāṇa
