Mera concept clear nehi hua, pala dynesty ne banaya yaa raghudev ne banaya yeh

The present structure of the Hayagriva Madhava temple was built by Raghudev of the Koch dynasty in 1583 A.D. However, according to archaeological excavations, there was a structure before the present temple was built, and literary sources also indicate the existence of an older temple. Some historians and archaeologists believe that the previous structure was built during the reign of the Pala dynasty at Kamarupa, but there is no evidence to prove that. According to my research, the ancient structure wasn't built during the Pala rule but much before that. That structure was probably a Buddhist shrine, and the most important evidence to prove it is the discovery of a Buddhist pillar at the temple. Later, it was converted into a Brahmanical temple due to the growing popularity of the Brahmanical religion in the early mediaeval period.
