[2] The site became flooded by the Meswo reservoir,[2] a project started in 1959 and completed between 1971–1972 over the nearby Meshwo River.

[6] Devni Mori has a specific construction pattern for a monastery, with an image shrine built opposite the entrance.

This kind of arrangement was initiated in northwestern sites such as Kalawan (in the Taxila area) or Dharmarajika.

[3] It is thought that this architectural pattern then became the prototype for the later development of monasteries with shrines in Devni Mori, Ajanta, Aurangabad, Ellora, Nalanda, Ratnagiri, Odisha, and others.

[13] According to Mehta and Chawdhary, the art of Devni Mori proves the existence of a pre-Gupta era Western Indian artistic tradition.

This tradition, they suggest may have influenced the art of the Ajanta Caves, Sarnath and other places from the 5th century onward.
