A Buddhist period archaeological site. The buildings are built with fine masonry now badly damaged. Signs of many stupas are visible. The abundance of green schist and stucco, scattered parts of base of pillars and chakras, a large number of sculptures of stone and stucco clearly refer to richness of the site in its prime time.
