An important discovery in Bhupalapalli district of Telangana state has revived history. An ancient stone idol of Lord Vishnu has been found in a river near Chinthakani village of Kataram mandal.

Experts believe that this statue shows the intricate craftsmanship of the 12th century and Kakatiya period.

Statue found during local excavation

This rare statue was found during a small excavation in the forest area located on the banks of the river. Arvind Pakide, Secretary of Culture and Heritage Research Team, said that this statue is from the 12th century. The special thing is that recently an excellent carved statue of Vishnu idol has been found near the fort.

From the point of view of style and iconography, this statue can be considered to be of the Kakatiya period, which shows the high level of craftsmanship of that time.

He told that the statue is damaged in many parts. From a heritage conservation perspective, the statue should be formally documented and preserved by the Telangana Heritage Department to prevent it from further deteriorating.

What did the local people say?

Most interestingly, when the water level in the river receded around three years ago, locals had spotted the head portion of the statue in the sand of the Peddavagu stream near Madaram village, as reported in a news article in Telangana Today.

At that time no one had taken it out of the river, so it remained buried. Recently, when the water level in the river decreased, the entire statue became visible.

Assistant Director of Telangana State Archeology Department, D. Bujji said, we have received information that the local people have found the idol of Lord Vishnu in Kataram Mandal. We will visit the spot, after examining the statue, a decision will be taken about shifting it.

According to media reports, this statue carved from black granite is about 5 feet high. Although the nose and fingers are slightly damaged, most of it is intact. The discovery sheds light on the rich cultural heritage of Telangana and why it is important to conserve ancient artefacts for future generations.
