TRICHY: Five metal idols including those of Vishnu, Perumal, Sridevi and Bhudevi were found at a construction site near Alangudi in Tiruvarur district on Tuesday. It may be recalled that two metal idols and 23 puja articles were unearthed from the same site on May 19.
Official sources said it was Muthukumar, a farmer hailing from Mandi Street near Alangudi who came across an idol of Lord Vishnu measuring three feet and one of Appar (one of the three saint poets) measuring one foot on May 19. It happened when he was digging the ground using an earth mover to construct concrete pillars for a house he was building. He also came across around 23 small utensils and puja articles used for performing puja in temples.
