Ceremony Commences for Indias First Saivite Shrine Consecration

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has announced that a temple discovered during recent excavations dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. This conclusion is supported by the findings within the shrine, which include artifacts such as a square rail and a unique stone known as the ‘Manusha Linga’.

The discovery adds to the understanding of ancient religious practices and architectural styles in the region during this historical period. Archaeologists believe that the Manusha Linga, often associated with fertility and worship in various cultures, may offer insights into the spiritual beliefs of the time. Further study of the site and its artifacts is expected to shed light on the cultural and historical significance of the temple and its role in the ancient community.
