800-yr-old Ganesha idol found in Hyderabad. Historians, CEO of Pleach India Foundation, convener of Kotha Telangana Charitra Brundam and co-convener saw the idol at Bhagirathi Sivalayam.
An 800-year-old Ganesha idol has been found at Pedda Golconda village near Outer Ring Road in Hyderabad.
Historian S. Jaikishan, CEO of Pleach India Foundation E. Sivanagireddy, convener of Kotha Telangana Charitra Brundam Sriramoju Haragopal and co-convener G.V. Bhadra Girish saw the idol at Bhagirathi Sivalayam, Pedda Golconda village, Shamshabad Mandal.
They noticed that the Ganesha idol has only two hands holding Danta and Modaka, wearing simple ornaments and seated in Lalithasana representing Kalyani Chalukyan style that dates back to 12th century CE.
The team also noticed Umamaheswara and Nandi sculptures of the Kakatiya period (13th century CE) at the Anjaneya temple.
They appealed to villagers to remove the colours from the sculptures and set them up on proper pedestals to save them for posterity.
Almaya Munnettam (Lay People to the Fore), group in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church opposed to the synod-recommended Mass, rejected a circular issued by Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil and apostolic administrator Bosco Puthur on June 9 to implement the unified Mass in the archdiocese from July 3.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
