Question

Which country has recently announced the repatriation of the Chola -era bronze trident of Goddess Bhadrakali , the granite Nandi idol, and the basalt sculpture of six-headed Karthikeya to India?

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Australia. Australia has announced the repatriation of three antiquities linked to temples in Tamil Nadu. The returned antiquities include a Chola-era bronze trident of Goddess Bhadrakali, a granite Nandi idol, and a basalt sculpture of six-headed Karthikeya. The repatriation is being carried out under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) between India and Australia. The Tamil Nadu Idol Wing CID investigated the antiquities and established that they had been illegally removed and trafficked abroad. The Chola dynasty (9th–13th centuries) is renowned for its exceptional bronze sculptures and temple art. Nandi is the sacred bull and vehicle of Lord Shiva in Hindu tradition. Karthikeya is also known as Murugan, Skanda, and Subrahmanya in different Indian traditions. The Indian Council of Medical Research has committed to repatriate the remains of an Australian First Nations ancestor preserved at the Government Museum, Chennai.
