The dancing idol of Lord Krishna, stolen from a temple in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, has been found in a museum in America. Tamil Nadu CID informed that the idol stolen from Sri Ekantha Ramaswamy Temple in 1966 has been found in the Indianapolis Museum of America. Acting on the complaint of the executive officer of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Department, a team led by Additional Superintendent of Police G Balamurugan probe found that six idols were stolen from the temple.
More than three idols were stolen
The three Krishna Kendras include Krishna (dance pose), Vishnu (two idols), and Sridevi and Bhudevi (two). The temple's EO G Narayani had complained in November this year that in 1966, three or more idols, including the idol of Lord Sri Krishna, were stolen from Sri Ekantha Ramaswamy Temple at Thangachimadam village. Since no images of Sri Krishna in a dancing posture were available in the temple records, the idol cell of the CID sought the help of the French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP), after which the idols were verified.
The statue was found on the website of foreign museums
CID DGP Jayant Murali told that in 1958 there were 12 metal idols in the temple, in 2012 the temple priest handed over only six idols to the temple management. On this basis, six idols were reported missing. He said that it was decided to examine the idols and find out whether they were smuggled and sold abroad. During the investigation, it was found from the website of foreign museums that the image of Lord Krishna in dancing posture is available on the website of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, USA.
The statue was purchased by the Indianapolis Museum of Art
CID compared the image available on the website with the image of IFP. Experts said that the two pictures of Lord Krishna (in a dancing pose) are the same. It was later learned that the missing statue had been purchased by the Indianapolis Museum of Art. CID is trying to trace the remaining five missing idols. Documents are being prepared as proof to claim the ownership of the idol of Lord Krishna in dancing posture. Evidence will soon be given to the US to bring the idol back to India.
