“…The sculptures and the architectural members belong to the early and late medieval period. The broken anga shikhara belongs to the early medieval period and is identical to the ones that can be seen at the other early medieval temple sites of Assam like the Nilachal Hill, Manikarneshwar (Sanathana and Hazarika 2019a), Umananda, and Madan Kamadev. The flying nymph, restored by using cement can be of early medieval period.…”

Wedge marks similar to the ones observed at Chapaidong and Rajaduar area of North Guwahati (Sanathana and Hazarika 2019a), created during the process of manual quarrying can be seen on the rock boulders. Due to weathering, it has not been possible to clearly identify a rectangular engraving or petroglyph with several lines at the site.…”
