The huge idol of Vishnu in the house of Brajendranath Saha of the Deora people in Akkelpur upazila of Joypurhat is being sent to the museum of the Buddhist monastery of Paharpur. Members of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) -5 Camp Joypurhat, in collaboration with the Department of Archeology, carried out an operation and recovered the statue on Sunday afternoon. Later in the press release, RAB reported this information.
In a press release, RAB claimed that Vishnu’s rescued idol was made from Kastipathar. The statue weighs 360 kg. The statue dates from 995 to 1043 AD during the reign of Mahipala, the first king of the Pala dynasty. It was recovered from the Deora village area. Its value is 75 crore rupees.
The village of Deora is located about 15 km south of Akkelpur upazila. There was a time when the town was very tall. The settlements developed gradually and have now become flat. There are countless pieces of bricks underneath these bricks. Chunks of brick and brick masonry come out as soon as you hit the ground with a shovel. The stone idol of Vishnu is kept in the courtyard of Brajendranath Saha’s house in Deora village. The statue was found next to a temple in the town many years ago. Recently, officials from the Department of Archeology and the local administration visited the town of Deora. Officials from the Department of Archeology collected some archaeological specimens from the town and took them away. On October 26, Prothom Alo published a story with the title “A brick sculpture found while digging the earth.”
