Kurukshetra: In a significant archaeological find, big-size bricks, dating back 2000-4500 years have been unearthed at Brahamsar Teeratha, about 40 km from this holy city in Haryana.
The bricks, one of them measuring 70 by 47 by 10 cm, were discovered during the desilting process of the Brahamsar Teeratha in Thana village, Dr Chander Pal Singh Tanwar of the Haryana Achaelogy Department said.
Claiming them to be the 'biggest old bricks' ever found in India, Dr Tanwar said these might have been used for the Ghats of the Brahamsar tank which was spread in 115 acres of land even today.
Two other bricks, excavated during the de-silting, measured 32 by 21 by 10 cm and 28 by 22 by 7 cm.
Acccording to Dr Tanwar, these bricks belong to the Kushan age and range upto the Rajput period, judging by their size.
He added that these bricks might have been used in the construction of the Prachi Ghat of the Brahamsar Teeratha which must have had ghats as big and wide as in Kashi(Varanasi).
