Two antique idols of Lord Hanuman and Lord Shani were recovered after being entangled in a fisherman’s net from the Mahanadi River near Padmabati village in the Bhapur block of Nayagarh district on Monday.
As per reports, a fisherman from the village alerted locals after discovering idols coiled in his fishing net yesterday afternoon. Soon enough, the two idols, measuring 4 feet, were retrieved off the nets and subsequently placed in the Baulakshetra Jagannath Temple for safekeeping.
While the discovery of the idols sparked significant discussion in the area, it is not the first time that such an occurrence was witnessed in Padmabati.
