The article titled “Ancients rising: two Bhagwan Vishnu murtis excavated in the last 10 days” reports on the discovery of two Bhagwan Vishnu murtis (statues) in two different states of India within a span of ten days.

The first murti, a Bhagwan Sheshshayi Vishnu, was unearthed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in Buldhana, Maharashtra on June 20. The murti was found during the conservation work of Lakhuji Jadhavrao’s Chhatri. The sculpture, carved from chlorite schist rock, depicts Vishnu reclining on Shesha Naga, with goddess Laxmi massaging his feet while seated on a cushion. The sculpture also portrays the Samudramanthan, featuring jewels like Ashwa and Airavat. The murti measures 1.70 meters in length and 1 meter in height.

The second murti, of Sri Hari Vishnu, was discovered in Bhojshala Mandir in Dhar District, Madhya Pradesh on June 24. The discovery was made by a team from the ASI in the northeastern part of the Bhojshala complex.

These discoveries are significant as they provide valuable insights into the religious and cultural history of the regions.
