The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has handed over five statues to Cambodia's APSARA National Authority for preservation after they were discovered during the removal of the stones at Ta Prohm temple's south gate in 2023.
Neth Simon, an archaeologist from the APSARA National Authority, stated that after discovering six statues, the team meticulously cleaned, documented, and carefully observed them. Their findings revealed that five of the statues were not related to the structure of the south gate, except for one pediment, which features a carving of the Buddha.
Further excavation and investigation are underway to unravel the ancient mysteries buried under Ta Prohm Temple in Cambodia.
