Summary:
BHOPAL: A mysterious ‘foreign face’ discovered engraved on a brick in a 6th century temple in MP’s Singrauli has triggered a sensation among archaeologists. An ASI team that was at an excavation site nearby rushed over to find that the villagers were digging into the Garvagriha of an ancient Vishnu temple with spades, and carting away ‘bricks’.The excavation of the Vishnu temple is now complete. The ASI team has detected four more buried temples. What emerged from ages of dirt was a statue of Vishnu so unique that only a handful of such examples exist. Archaeologists believe there is another temple about 400m from these caves and have laid two trenches there..
