Sambhal DM writes to ASI for carbon dating
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|December 16, 2024
LUCKNOW: The Sambhal district administration in Uttar Pradesh has urged the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to conduct carbon dating of the Bhasma Shankar temple, which was reopened for devotees two days ago after being locked since 1978 following communal riots in the town, officials said on Sunday.
The administration, in a letter to the ASI, has also urged the federal body to perform carbon dating—a method used to determine the age of ancient sites and artifacts—on a well found on the temple premises.
"This is the temple of Kartik Mahadev. A well has been found here. This is Amrit Koop. Security guards have been permanently posted here and CCTV cameras have also been installed," district magistrate Rajender Pensiya said, adding worshippers have started visiting the temple.
"We have written a letter to ASI for carbon dating of the temple and the well," the DM said. "Puja has also started in the temple. There is encroachment here, which is being removed."
