JAMNAGAR: Over a dozen idols of Jain 'Tirthankars', estimated to be more than 400-year-old were excavated from a construction site in Chandibazar area of Jamnagar city on Saturday.

As many as 14 idols were found buried in the earth when a local builder Bharat was excavating to lay the foundation of his new bungalow.

Bharat said that as soon as the labourers reach a depth of seven feet, they found the idols of Jain 'Tirthankars' stacked one over the other. "All the idols were found to be intact," he said.
