The discovery of columns which look like temple pillars minus sculptures has turned out to be a find that shines light on Telangana’s rich geological heritage.
“They looked like temple pillars, but there was no sculptures or carvings. That led me to use Google Lens which showed that it is a ‘columnar basalt’,” said Tirupati Gite, the heritage enthusiast who discovered the site in Asifabad district’s Karameri village.
Once Mr. Gite identified the geological formation that was found on a hillock about 2 kilometres from the road in a forested area, he got in touch with S. Haragopal, who leads the Kotha Charitra Telangana Brundam.
