Heritage enthusiasts have discovered the remains of an ancient temple in Bengaluru which is dated back to 1539 AD. It is a mysterious engraved stone in a village near the city that led the explorers, including Dhanpal M, a bus driver with BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation), to the interesting discovery.
The stone has been standing in Jakkur village for ages. But the importance of it was never realised until Dhanpal and his team explored the area. Following the stone and its inscriptions, the team went ahead for another search which led to the larger discovery.
