Archaeological remains [ ]
The Tribune reported on 9 April 2016 that Mahant and members of a dera of Nath yogis in the sanctuary found the ancient rectangular bricks from a 15 feet deep structure after an old banyan tree was uprooted.[3] According to Rajendra Singh Rana, curator of Kurukshetra ’s Srikrishna Museum, prima facie these bricks and structure appears to be older than 1500 years old as square bricks are associated with 1,500 years old Gupta period (320 CE to 550 CE) and these bricks are likely to be even older from the Kushan (30 CE to 375 CE) period as the Sarasvati river use to flow here.[3]
There is also a 40 years old Water well made of small lakhauri bricks associated with the Mughal empire era.[3]
