4th Century Ganesha Idols Found in Kaja Village

In a small village called Kaja in Guntur district, a farmer found two tiny stone idols of Lord Ganesha while ploughing his field.

An archaeologist named Dr. E. Sivanagi Reddy visited the site and said these idols are very old, from around the 4th century.

They are made of red sandstone and show Ganesha holding a sweet called 'modaka' and a broken tusk.

These idols are similar to another one found in Chejarla, which was the capital of the Anandagotrins, a ancient kingdom.

The archaeologist thinks this means the area around Kaja was once ruled by the Anandagotrins.

The field also had pieces of old pots, showing it's an important place for history.

The archaeologist asked the farmer to take care of the idols because they are very important.
