Ancient Ganesha Idols Discovered in Field in Andhra Pradesh

Two sandstone idols of Lord Ganesha, dating back to the 4th century, have been unearthed in a field near Kaza, close to Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh. The discovery was announced by archaeologist E. Sivanagireddy, who identified the idols as belonging to the Ananda Gotrika period. The red sandstone sculptures are depicted in a seated posture known as lalitasana, with one leg pendant and the other folded. Each idol holds a modaka (a sweet) in one hand and a broken tusk in the other, which are characteristic attributes of Ganesha. According to Sivanagireddy, the idols closely resemble a Ganesha image of the same period found at Chejarla, which was the capital of the Ananda Gotrika dynasty. The find is significant as it adds to the understanding of sculptural traditions in the region during the 4th century. The exact location of the field and the circumstances of the discovery were not detailed. Further studies and conservation efforts are expected to follow.
