ctober 1990 by the
BB Lal- led
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) team claimed to have found the pillar-bases of what may have been a temple at the site which must have belonged to a larger building than the
Babri Mosque.
The team of archaeologists of the ASI, led by former Director-General ASI (1968-1972),
B.B. Lal in 1975-76, worked on a project titled "Archaeology of Ramayana Sites", which excavated five
Ramayana-related sites of
Ayodhya, Bharadwaj Ashram,
Nandigram,
Chitrakoot and Shringaverapura.
[2] At Ayodhya, the team found rows of pillar-bases which must have belonged to a larger building than the Babri Mosque. In 2003 statement to the
Allahabad High Court, Lal stated that after he submitted a seven-page preliminary report to the Archaeological Survey of India, mentioning the discovery of "pillar bases", immediately south of the
Babri mosque structure in Ayodhya. Subsequently, all technical facilities were withdrawn, and despite repeated requests, the project wasn't revived for another 10-12 years, despite his repeated request. Thus the final report was never submitted, the preliminary report was only published in 1989, and in
Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) volume on historicity of Ramayana and Mahabharat.
[2] Subsequently, in his 2008 book,
Rama: His Historicity Mandir and Setu, he wrote, "Attached to the piers of the Babri Masjid, there were twelve stone pillars, which carried not only typical Hindu motifs and mouldings, but also figures of Hindu deities. It was self-evident that these pillars were not an integral part of the Masjid, but were foreign to it."
[1] In July 1992, eight eminent archaeologists (among them former ASI directors, Dr. Y.D. Sharma and Dr. K.M. Srivastava) went to the Ramkot hill to evaluate and examine the findings. These findings included religious sculptures and a statue of
Vishnu. They said that the inner boundary of the disputed structure rests, at least on one side, on an earlier existing structure, which “may have belonged to an earlier temple”. (Indian Express, 4 July 1992.) The objects examined by them also included
terracotta Hindu images of the
Kushan period (100-300 AD) and carved buff
sandstone objects that showed images of Vaishnav deities and of
Shiva-
Parvati. They concluded that these fragments belonged to a temple of the
Nagara style (900-1200 AD).
Prof. S.P. Gupta commented on the discoveries:
"The team found that the objects were datable to the period ranging from the 10th through the 12th century AD, i.e., the period of the late Pratiharas and earlyGahadvals. (....) These objects included a number of amakalas, i.e., the cogged-wheel type architectural element which crown the bhumi shikharas or spires of subsidiary shrines, as well as the top of the spire or the main shikhara ... This is a characteristic feature of all north Indian temples of the early medieval period (...) There was other evidence — of cornices, pillar capitals, mouldings, door jambs with floral patterns and others — leaving little doubt regarding the existence of a 10th-12th century temple complex at the site of Ayodhya."[6] man have ayodhya is holy place of millions of hindus have ever thought of constructing temple in mecca
