A rare six-feet three-inch tall Buddha sculpture belonging to 14th century was unearthed at Eturu village of Krishna district in Andhra Pradesh. The statue was discovered on Friday when the villagers were digging the ground to lay boddu rai, a stone, which is believed to guard the village.
According to reports, the villagers alerted local authorities after unearthing the statue. Subsequently, Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas asked Subhakar Medasani, secretary of Amaravati Buddha Vihar, and Sivanagi Reddy, CEO of Cultural Centre Vijayawada, to visit the site.
