Jaisinghpura Inscription

The Journal of Royal Asiatic Society, 1912 mentions....[p.120]: Under the supervision of Pandit Radha Krishna some trial excavations were carried out on various ancient sites round Mathura out of funds provided by the Government of India. These sites include 1. Mora, 2. Ganeshra, and 3. Jaisinghpura.

[p.123]: The third site examined was that of Jaisinghpura, 3 miles north of Mathura city, to the west of the road to Briridaban. That this site also marks the spot of an ancient Buddhist sanctuary is evident from the numerous sculptural remains found in the course of excavation. They include fragments of Buddha images and of very elaborate haloes, the former apparently belonging to the Kushan and the latter to the Gupta period, further lions, two Garudas, and fragments of a stone railing.
