The lone witnesses of the presence of the ruins are the villagers, who have extensively made use of materials from the ruins for manufacturing their household and other village infrastructure. The Villagers have made use of beautifully carved columns from temples to build their resting places and seats. The houses have used their brick and stone remnants, from which sculpted images jut out to tell their story to the visitor.
Most houses in the village have extensively used stone as the building material. Several remains of the earlier temples can be seen as having been used in the construction of houses and other public facilities. Some stones used in the houses clearly seemed to have been collected from the ruins of the earlier structures, but however, fresh stone cutting was also seen in progress at one site. Thus one cannot say for sure as to how much of the earlier remains have actually been utilised in the houses constructed.
But, the remains of the earlier temples are to be met with at almost every important place in the village. The platform built around a tree has used remains from the ruins. Panels from temples and pillars can be clearly distinguished. Near this platform was another, which was being used for drying of grain. A peep below the polished stone platform displayed fragments of sculpted materials used in previous buildings.
Not very far from the platform lied the original temple site, with perhaps remains scattered all across the ground, and with even a part of the building still standing and being worshipped.
Some fragments in the village have been collected and consigned in smaller structures, which are collectively regarded and worshipped.
