The stairs, which were excavated last month, had the Shankhalipi inscription which had now been confirmed told ‘Sri Mahendraditya’, the title Gupta Ruler Kumaragupta I who ruled for what is now North-Central India for 40 years in the 5th century.
BILSARH has been protected since 1928 and is known as an important Gupta period site.
“There are two decorative pillars (in place) near each other, with human statues (found before).
To understand their significance, we conduct further excavations and find stairs,” said Vasant Swarnkar, Archaeologist supervisor of Agra Circle ASI.
“We found something written in Shankhalipi.
It was described as saying ‘Sri Mahendraditya’, which was the title of Kumaragupta I from the Gupta Dynasty.” Shankhalipi is an ornate, stylish, ancient script, used between the 4th and 8th centuries for names and signatures .
The discovery occurs during cleaning “routine”.
Around every rainy season, breast milk starts rubbing the protected site.
There is a lot of excessive growth to be removed.
This time, said Swarnkar, he monitors cleaning when he thinks that place must be excavated and breast milk finds ancient stairs that leads to a temple.
The inscriptions found on Tete remained previously seen on the horse statue found in the Lakhimpur Kheri.
Now at the State Museum, Lucknow.
But it didn’t confirm enough.
So, Swarnkar sent an inscription image to Epigraphy Dr.
Handa Devendra Handa.
At the same time, breast milk officials visited Lucknow to discuss the inscription of the horse statue again.
Both of them asserted it was indeed Shankhalpi.
Because the name of the Kumaragupta I inscription, the remnants returned to their reign.
Staying up to the third structural temple of the Gupta period found so far.
“Guptas is the first to build a structural temple for followers of Brahminical, Buddha and Jain.

“Before this, only two structural temples were found – Dashavatara Temple at Deogarh Temple and Bhitarga in Kanpur Dehat.
The Etu pillar is well managed, better than the previous examples where only the bottom is carved.
The pillars and decorative stairs are a little more advanced Instead of the previous one.
“ASI will now save the remains, install warehouses and descriptive signs for visitors.
