Vijayawada: Under the scheme ‘Preserve Heritage for Posterity’, launched by the Cultural Centre of Vijayawada and Amaravati (CCVA), its CEO and archaeologist Dr E Sivanagi Reddy discovered a group of historical stone sculptures during a survey.
Basing on the information received from the villages of Korlagunta in Agiripalli mandal, Krishna district, Dr Reddy examined the sculptures, Mahishasura Mardhini, Chandi, Chamundi, Nandi, Dwarapalika dated back to Vengi Chalukyan period (10th century AD). The sculptures bear a lot of historical significance in terms of art and iconography as the Goddess Durga is depicted standing on the head of buffalo demon.
Dr Sivanagi Reddy sensitised the villagers on the archaeological significance of the sculptures and the need to protect them for posterity. He also appealed to the department of archaeology and museums to take care of these sculptures and safeguard them.
