A pair of Nandi statues belonging to post-Vijayanagara period found at dried lake bed in Arasinakere village in Mysuru District

Mysuru, July 16(UNI) A pair of Nandi statues belonging to post-Vijayanara period, carved out of monolithic soapstone, have been found in a dried lake bed in Arasinakere village in the District, about 20 km from here.
Aged People of the village were aware about the presence of Nandi statues, whose heads appeared to peep out partially whenever the water level in the lake dipped. The complete drying up of the water body during summer presented the curious residents an opportunity to dig deeper.
The locals, who dug up the area and even deployed an earth mover during a three-to-four-day exercise, managed to unearth two giant Nandi statues facing each other.
