Following the reopening of a Shiv-Hanuman temple in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district after a gap of 46 years, an excavation team of the Archeological Survey of India has unearthed a stepwell in the Chandausi area of the district.
Sambhal's District Magistrate Rajendra Pensiya on Sunday confirmed that a 'baoli' with an area of 400 square meters has been uncovered. The structure having around four chambers has a few floors made of marble, he said.
"An area of around 400 square meters, is recorded in the form of Ah-Baoli Talab. It is said that this baoli was built during the time of the king of the grandfather of Bilari's king. The second and third floor is made up of marble and the upper floors are made of bricks. As we saw (from the excavation), around four chambers are there," Pensiya told reporters at the site.
