12th-Century Yadava-Era Temple Pillar Found at Hinganghat, Maharashtra

Save

Fragments of a 12th-century temple-style stone pillar from the Yadava era have been unearthed near the banks of the Vena River at Hinganghat town in Wardha district, Maharashtra, roughly 70 km from Nagpur.

  • Researchers attribute it to the Seuna (Yadava) dynasty of the 12th–13th centuries.
  • Carved in black basalt with motifs such as a lotus, it reflects the Hemadpanti style, which uses large interlocking stones without lime mortar.
  • The pillar may have stood in a sabhamandap or close to a garbhagriha, pointing to a major medieval temple complex in the area.
