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.[2][3][4] 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.[5] 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.[5] Roundel on top of the pillar is a composite animal with protome of deer and hindquarters of makra superimposed over a lotus in bloom.[5]
