Deccan Chronicle  

Bhopal: Idols of Lord Shiva and ‘Vasuki Naag’ were among around 20 ‘archaeological remains’ found in the controversial complex of Bhojshala temple-Kamal Maula mosque in Dhar district in Madhya Pradesh during the latest scientific survey by Archaeological Survey of India, an activist of a Hindu body said on Tuesday. According to Mr Sharma, the idol of a seven-headed snake, known to be ‘Vasuki Naag’, was found in the northern side of Bhojshala temple during the survey on June 22. On June 23, more than 11 ‘archaeological remains’ were found in the Bhojshala temple complex, according to Mr Sharma. ASI has started the scientific survey of Bhojshala temple-Kamal Maula mosque complex in March this year following a directive by Madhya Pradesh high court which sought to ascertain the ‘true character, nature and form’ of the disputed site in the wake of Hindus and Muslims staking claim over it.
