Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Jagatgram-Barhwala is an archaeological site near the banks of Yamuna river and about 2 miles from Kalsi's inscribed rock with Ashoka edicts. Excavated in the 1950s, Jagatgram has yielded three locations with bricks laid out in a hawk-shape mirroring the teachings found in Hindu Sanskrit texts for Ashvamedha yajna. Dated to the 3rd century CE and attributed to king Silavarman, some of these bricks include inscriptions and these have been moved to Delhi National Museum. The sites 1, 2 and 3 in Jagatgram–Badhwala region show a large spread of plain bricks.
The current sites are midst Himalayan apple orchards. A walk through the trails and along the river sites show many more archaeological remains yet to be excavated and documented. The Jagatgram–Kalsi area in Dehradun district has been a rich archaeological source of ancient Indian artwork. The recovered items include Hindu and Buddhist sculptures, coins, foundations and walls of lost buildings, inscribed bricks and other sandstone artwork. |
