The buried temple dates back to the early group of temples like Vaitaal, Parsurameswar, Paramguru and Sishireswar. The ASI is currently excavating the east direction of Sari Deula where remains of a temple were buried in debris and vegetation. The buried temple is a ‘jagamohan’ and it is facing south towards Bindusagar. Since the roof is flat, it could have been built in Khakara style, Malik said.
Th excavations around the Sari Deula since the last one year have revealed seven temples including the buried one so far. Five bases of temples have been excavated in all corners of Sari Deula proving that the monument was built on the Panchayatan model, the archaeologist said.
