"Some years later in 1888, a civil engineer of ASI in Bengal, Joseph Daviditch Milik Beglaroff,38 surveyed the Adina mosque. This is what he had to say in his official report entitled Archaeological Survey of Bengal, Part II: The West wall of the Masjid it will be seen, barely leaves room for these. A further circumstance which may and possibly did determine, the position of the West wall of the Masjid, is, that in all probability, the sanctum of the temple, judging from the remnants of heavy pedestals of statues, now built into the pulpit, and the superb canopied trefoils, now doing duty as prayer niches, stood where the main prayer niche now stands; nothing would probably so tickle the fancy of a bigot, as the power of placing the sanctum of his orthodox cult, (in this case the main prayer niche) on the spot, where the hated infidel had his sanctum; and utilising to the honor of his own religion, the very canopies of the idolatrous statues; for there is no doubt whatever, in my mind, comparing these trefoils with the recently discovered similar trefoils at Kylas over figures of Parva~i, (see report Part I of last year) that these trefoils are really the canopies over the statues originally enshrined here."
