We intend to excavated the area regenerate spring. As the protected lies on bank river and surface indications indicate, this was area earlier and residences people excavation presumptions came out be correct. During our survey the area the south of the protected area, we found remains of walls both stone brick spread modern township.

Most of standing temples at Rajim are built of architectural material from earlier temples and brought from elsewhere like Sirpur. By the 4th century A.D. temple architecture south-Kosala assumed definite nuclear architectural identity which was gradually extended horizontally well vertically till by the close of the 7th-8th century introduced curvilinear spire (sikhara) that constituted its distinctive cognizance. In the evolution temple architecture regional environmental factors and socio-economic conditions, ritual requirements the region played distinctive role to evolve sub styles and this is exactly what happened Chhattisgarh.
