Bhubaneswar: Indian Archaeological Survey (ASI) on Wednesday found another temple base in the Sari Temple place in the area of the old city of the city.
ASI plans to dig into the northeast side of the 10th century Temple complex to dig more from partial open temples.
“The dug section seems to be the base of a temple.
It’s too early to tell the details about the remnants.
It seems like the temple is older than the existing and is part of the pancidic model where the main temple is surrounded by four temples.
We plan to continue Further excavation against Lake Bindu Sagar to get more details, “said Arun Malik, the Odisha Circle Odisha supervisor.
ASI recently continued excavation and scientific cleansing from the temple complex spread across two hectares after a few months of gap.
In January this year, breast milk has explored ancient temple floors and several parts of the wall panel while doing scientific cleaning in a place near the temple.
The remnants are expected to be back to the Somavamshi period of the ninth century to 12.
“We hope to explore more temples in the Sari Temple complex.
This will throw more light on the architecture of Odisha Temple and a rich cultural heritage of the city of the temple , “Malik added.
The source said, ancient scriptures said the existence of more than 1,000 temples in Bhubaneswar during the 15th century where the capital was named “Temple City”.
But for years, most temples were destroyed due to lack of preservation.
At present, only 200 temples in the city.
Of the total monuments, 23 preserved by ASI and 15 by state archeological wings, said source.
ASI has accused serious violations of conservation and conservation law for “mind dismantling” in the place of site protected by the state government institution for the Kshetra Ekamra Project.
Under the plan to develop Ekamra Kshetra, this country aims to develop an area of 80 hectares around the historic Lingaraj temple in the Old City area here.
