 Surya

STOLEN AND RECOVERED AND STOLEN AGAIN: Image of Surya, the sun god, from the sacred fountains of Shekha Narayana, where it stood for centuries half submerged in the water, before it was stolen in the early 1980's. This statue, however, has been recovered by the police and reinstalled at its site. Photo: 20. 1. 81. In October 1996, it was found stolen again! (Fig. E68/G106)
