CHAUBIS KHAMBHA GATE: UJJAIN (1964-65)

The Deptt. of Archaeology, Govt. of M.P. during the course of clearance excavation necessitated by the road-making operation, exposed the remains of a temple belonging to c. 1000 A.D. partly utilised for the construction of a small mosque at the site in about the 15th century A.D. The latter monument had itself collapsed not long after and was in ruins.
