Archaeologists have found at the Deccan College here lateritic blocks, which form the outer enclosing walls of the earthen earthen Mounds that bear similarity to the early stupas associated with Buddhism, during Excavations at the Sisupalgarh, an early historic town on the outskirts of Bhubaneshwar.

These findings, published in a recent report by the institute, strengthen the belief of significant Buddhist activity in and around Sisupalgarh during the 3rd century BC.
