​Vijayawada: A 16th-century sculpture of a couple carved in high relief on local limestone was noticed at Kolluru, a submerged village in Pulichintala Reservoir of Bellamkonda Mandal in Guntur district, according to Dr E Sivanagi Reddy, CEO, the Cultural Centre of Vijayawada and Amaravati (CCVA) on Monday.
He said that basing on the information given by locals, he rushed to Kolluru village, as part of ‘Preserve Heritage for Posterity’, a scheme launched by the CCVA. Dr Reddy said that it was found in a locality called Panthulugari Polamu, about 3 kms away from the village.
The sculpture depicted with a couple, probably a local ruler and his wife wearing the dress and ornaments and represents the Vijayanagara style of art datable to 16th century AD, said Sivanagi Reddy. He requested the government to shift the sculpture to the rehabilitated village or Guntur Museum based on its historical significance.
