The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) undertakes conservation, preservation, and maintenance of ancient monuments and archaeological sites, the minister said.
Evidence or remains of Hindu temples and caves have been found from early historical times in the country, the government said on Monday.
Union Culture Minister G Kishan Reddy said this in a written response to a query in the Lok Sabha.
He was asked if temples of Hindu civilisation existed or temples of Hindu gods and goddesses were built in all the caves or domes that exist in the country and were "later destroyed by the Mughal rulers and the Britishers" and, if so, whether the government proposes to take positive steps to preserve "the Hindu religious cultural heritage under the ASI" that are in a "dilapidated condition and restore it to its pristine form".
