Located on monastery grounds, surrounded by funerary stupa, stands a square brick temple. But how old is it? This might be a quite fascinating site that tells a tale of two eras. There are ancient remains including a pedestal and water spout at the site, while everything else is certainly from more recent times, but a time before the 1930s at least as per the historical photos further below.
