Their greatness is striking to this day …
Once again, India aims to be the hit maker of news and archaeological discoveries! Moreover, as they say, there is a silver lining and good without a silver lining: if not for the severe drought that befell these Indian places, mankind might not have learned about the existence of the remains of ancient temples hidden at the bottom of the reservoir … Local residents saw a "miracle" and "hand The Lord of the all-creating ". Although, it is worth noting that the "miracle" is not the first time as a result of such natural phenomena …
Hindu pilgrims flocked to the village of Chandori in the Indian state of Maharashtra. A very unusual picture is observed here.
A prolonged drought in the region dried up the Godavari River that flowed through the village. As a result, dozens of Hindu temples were laid bare, resting at the bottom of the reservoir for more than a century.
These temples were built in the 13th century and are examples of Hemadpanti architecture. They were submerged in 1907 as a result of the construction of a dam. At that time, part of the village was flooded.
Mulei, clergyman: “This village has existed for thousands of years. In ancient times she was known as Chandravati, and today she is called Chandori."
The last time the ancient shrines appeared from under the water in 1982, around the same days when the legendary Paulo Rossi scored his decisive goals at the World Cup. There was also a severe drought in the region at that time.
But it is better to see once than read a hundred times. Let's watch a video from the scene:
