In a significant historical discovery in Sambhal, the district administration found ancient coins and pottery at the memorial site of Guru Amarpati, a contemporary of Prithviraj Chauhan. This site has been under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) since 1920. It is noted that the coins found are 300-400 years old

The SDM mentioned that this memorial dates back to the time of Prithviraj Chauhan. A day earlier, on Wednesday, an ASI team also visited the site, where villagers mentioned that they find ancient coins here from time to time. The district administration is running a special campaign to preserve endangered pilgrimage sites and historical heritage. The administration is also working to clear illegal encroachments and excavate ancient wells and ponds.

An official said, "This ancient pilgrimage town from the Satya Yuga era has several historical sites, and the administration is continuously striving for their preservation. The discovery of Guru Amarpati's memorial is an important part of this campaign."

A total of 41 "Teerth' and some coins inscribed with 'Ram Lakshmana Janaki' have been discovered in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district.
