Kankali Tila

Numerous Jain sculptures, Ayagapattas (tablet of homage),[4] pillars, crossbeams and lintels were found during archaeological excavations.

The excavations at Kankali Tila acted as a testimony to the claims made by Jains regarding the great antiquity of their religion.

[6] Images of Neminatha found in Kankali Tila dating back to Kushan period depicts him as a cousin of Krishna and Balarama.

[7] The sculptures and the inscriptions found at Kankali Tila suggest that in that period a clear Digambar-Shwetabar division had not risen.

The names of divisions of the monastic orders in inscriptions found at the Kankali Tila match exactly with those given in the ancient Śvetāmbara text Kalpasutra.
