Gleanings
Summary
A one‑page news note reports on Jain temples along the Darrekesharan river region (Dharapat, Bahulara, Sonatapal, Dihar) and in Parasenath, with remarks on transformations of icons (e.g., Pārśvanātha) and shifts in cultic identification over centuries. The brief highlights archaeological dating (10th–12th centuries), material (stone), and present status. Its value lies in documenting contemporary observations that connect field sites with historical inferences: how local communities repurpose shrines and images. As a recurring column, 'Gleanings' serves the journal’s archival function by preserving such notes for future researchers.
