These pillars from Bhadas and Hathin might have belonged to the same monument as the lens-shaped mortises on both have same size, same color of stone, same distance between each of three mortises craved on the pillars and same yaksha carvings.[9] The yaksha on the Bhadas pillar stands on protome of a cloven hoofed animal, with raised now-broken right hand holding a flower and left hand on the hip holding the drapery.[9] Roundel on the top of the pillar has a composite animal with protome of deer and hindquarters of makara superimposed over a blooming lotus.[9]
