How did you get the idol back?
This statue is from the 18th century. It is believed that it was stolen from Kashi Ghat in 1913 and sent to Canada. There it was part of the Regina University collection at the Mackenzie Art Gallery. The statue was bequeathed to Norman Mackenzie in 1936 and the statue was added to the gallery's collection. This matter came to the fore when preparations for an exhibition were going on in the gallery this year. During this, Divya Mehra, an artist, caught sight of this idol and raised the issue. After this, the government started efforts to get the idol back from its side.
