Gokul Medh
(Behular Basor Garh)
The excavation revealed the base of a stupa built in the terraced cellular style of construction. The base consists of 172 tightly-packed blind rectangular cells and arranged in gradually rising tiers to support a polygonal shrine above it. The site features several Terracotta plaques from the late Gupta period as well as a square temple added later in the Sena period. During excavation, a stone-slab was discovered at the center of the shrine, which had twelve shallow depressions surrounding a larger depression at the center containing a tiny gold leaf with the figure of a recumbent bull in relief. This indicates the shrine's use as a Shiva temple at some point
