Circa 150 BCE to 100 CE
Shunga Empire or
Kushan Empire era
Hindu temple guard rail pillars were excavated from a filled well of
Bhadas village and from Hathin. The pillars are exhibited in the Haryana State Museum. The railing pillars have images of
Yaksha and three
mortises carved on them. These pillars may have belonged to the same monument as the
lens-shaped mortises because both have the same size, the color of the stone, distances between the three mortises carved on the pillars and
yaksha carvings. The
yaksha on the Bhadas pillar stands on
protome of a
Cloven hoofed animal, with the raised right hand (now-broken) holding a flower and the left hand on the hip holding up the drapery.
Roundel on top of the pillar is a
composite animal with protome of
deer and hindquarters of
makra superimposed over a
lotus in bloom. Hathin is part of the historical
Mewat region and
Braj region of India. == Infrastructure ==
