THANE, INDIA, February 3, 2008: Two ancient temples, one of them a Shiva temple and the other not yet identified, have been found by the villagers at Gunj, Maharashtra.
It was during the visit to nearby Parshuram temple on the hillock the villagers stumbled on these two abandoned and ruined temples. The villagers claimed that the temple originally belonged to Renuka Mata, mother of Lord Parshuram. It is said to have been raided by Chimaji Appa in 1732. The stones, with beautiful carvings, are scattered making it difficult for villagers to understand its origins.
The villagers demanded the construction of a road in order to make the temples accessible and also asked for their renovation.
