An ancient idol of Lord Vishnu has been unearthed in the Krishna river in Karnataka. This Lord Vishnu statue found in a river in a village in Raichur district is surprisingly similar to the statue of Lord Rama recently installed in the new Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
Dashavatars appeared around the idol. Along with the idol, an ancient Shiv Lingam has also been unearthed. Dr. Padmaja Desai, professor of ancient history and archeology at Raichur University, said that this Vishnu statue found in the Krishna river basin has many special features. Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Rama, Parasurama, Krishna, Buddha, Kalki etc. are beautifully decorated around this Vishnu idol. As for the special features of this Lord Vishnu idol, Lord Vishnu has four arms in a standing posture. This idol also resembles Venkateswara. But there is no Garuda in this statue. Garuda is usually seen in Lord Vishnu idols. As Vishnu is a lover of decoration, flowers are also seen on this Mandahasadhara Vishnu Murthy statue. 🌺
