Shivlings could be found in Goa too: Minister

| @indiablooms | May 17, 2022, at 11:25 pm

Panaji: Goa Power Minister Sudin Dhavalikar on Tuesday said there was possibility of Shivlings being discovered at various religious places in Goa just like it was reported to have been discovered at the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi recently.

"I personally feel that there could be such 'Shivlings' at the sites where the temples were demolished. 'Shivlings' may be there somewhere in Goa and could be found definitely at such sites,” Dhavalikar told reporters in the city.

Dhavalikar felt that the Archaeological Survey of India(ASI) should work in that regard.

Stating that there was a lot of interest among the people of the state to restore temples destroyed during the colonial era, Dhavalikar said the final call would be taken by the Chief Minister.

There are many people who want to rebuild the temples but decision of chief minister would be final, the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) MLA said.
