The dig websites are in Nachne village, merely 30 metres from one other archaeological marvel — a Gupta-era Parvati temple — and near Chaumukhi temple, constructed by the Kalachuri Dynasty (Sixth-Seventh centuries CE). It’s a website wealthy in historical past and fewer than 100 km from Khajuraho. “We are carrying out this excavation with the objective of finding the oldest temple in India,” ASI superintending archaeologist (Jabalpur circle) Shiva Kant Bajpayee advised TOI.
