History
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 as well as from Hathin, and they are now exhibited in the Haryana State Museum.[6][7][8] The railing pillars have images of Yaksha and 3 mortises carved on them. These pillars from Bhadas and Hathin might have belonged to the same monument as the lends-shaped mortises on both have same size, same color of stone, same distance between each of three mortises craved on the pillars and same yaksha carvings.[9] The yaksha on the Bhadas pillar stands on protome of a Cloven hoofed animal, with raised now-broken right hand holding a flower and left hand on the hip holding the drapery.[9] Roundel on the top of the pillar has a composite animal with protome of deer and hindquarters of makra superimposed over a blooming lotus.[9]
