Mirabigha, Jehanabad

Mirabigha, Jehanabad

Mirabigha village (Dist. Jehanabad) is situated at about 4 km. South-East of Tehta Railway Station. This archaeological site is characterized by a cluster of temples, mostly Shaivite, numbering about a dozen. Most of them are brick-worked with some stone appendage. There are ruins of an ancient tank, which may be associated with the site.

The site also yielded a host of Brahmanical deities, who once would have resided in these temples.

Both, the temples and sculptures, belong to the Pala period of the 9th-10th cent. A.D.
