On 13the Feb,2005, the Coimbatore Edition of The Hindu published the

following article:

http://www.hindu.com/2006/02/12/stories/2006021200332000.htm

titled,Buddhist Statues found near Chennai.

The next day a letter by Mr Theodore Bhaskaran was carried, refuting

the above claim that they were Not Buddhist Statues but of Jain

Thirthankaras.

 

There was no further discussion on the subject nor any clarification

from the correspondent or ASI.

Will some one throw more light on the matter?

We need to take a look at good pictures.
