 The Archaeological Survey excavated the site of six months in 2003, and submitted its Report the same year.The Report gave the suggestion that there are traces of a pillared temple in strata under the Mosque.While the book by Mandal and Ratnagar places on record the reasons why the two scholars conclude that claims about the temple are not credible, in the broader sense it also indicates why attempts to restore holy places to their original owners can be self-defeating projects.
