According to Majumdar's theory, the temple was built in c. 436 CE when Bandhuvarman ruled as a sovereign, and was repaired in c. 473 CE during the reign of Kumaragupta II. Bandhuvarman's grandfather Naravarman and his father Vishvavarman seem to have been independent rulers, because none of the three inscriptions issued during their reigns refer to a Gupta overlord. Therefore, according to Majumdar, irrespective of who the "Kumaragupta" mentioned in the Mandsaur inscription is, the Dashapura area seems to have been annexed to the Gupta empire sometime after this inscription was issued, that is, during c. 424-473 CE. Majumdar theorizes that the Dashapura region was annexed to the Gupta empire during the reign of Kumaragupta I, either through military conquest or diplomacy. 916: 706: 1729: 2030: 784: 1308: 1683: 1930: 1657: 1102: 1908: 1300: 1272: 204: 1113: 46: 1234: 1229: 1224: 1219: 1143: 1138: 1133: 1128: 810: 497: 799: 508: 502: 486: 805: 492: 210: 657:-inscribed coins have been discovered in the Ganges valley.
