This gigantic stupa can be listed among tallest and rare stupas in north India. The name Asandhivat (Asandh) has been mentioned in the ancient Indian scriptures Brahmanas, Sutras Ashtandhyayi, Mahabharata etc. suggesting that in ancient past, it must have been an important town. The site has yielded painted grey ware, ancient pottery, Kushana coins and bricks, Yaudheya coins and medieval relics. This stupa is popularly known as Jarasnadh Ka Qila. The Stupa must have originally been a very gigantic structure as the mound still rises to height of more than 25 meters. It indicates a circular drum, in an exposed area, a circular wall made of baked bricks (as many as 44 courses of bricks) was noticed. The bricks used are approximately 34cm to 35 cm x 21.5cm x 23cm x 5cm to 6 cm in dimensions.
