HATHIWADA ENCLO
Photo
It is a parallelogram (93.6 x 45.90m) of huge cut blocks of stone, popularly known as Hathi-ka-Bara after the legend that Akbar used it as his elephant stable, during his expedition against Chittaurgarh. A Brahmi inscription engraved on a stone block fixed in the north- northeast corner of the wall, assignable to the second century B.C. speaks of the erection of a pujasila-prakara by Sarvatata Gajayana, son of a lady of the Parasara gotra for the gods Samkarshana and Vasudeva. Pujasila-prakara referred to in the inscription may mean a stone enclosure around an object of worship.
