This sounds like a good spot as well: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/80928/shrouded-mystery.html <quote> Any Bangalorean need not go as far as Rome or as reasonably-near as Talakad to see an excavated site of architectural marvel. Just make a visit to the old-time locality of Malleswaram in the heart of Bangalore, and here on 17th cross, an excavated marvel stands proud and tall. It was in the late 1990s, that I heard about this unbelievable find. Living just round the corner, I made a visit to this place, and the excavated structure wrapped me in a whiff of disbelief. “How can such an ancient structure be found after these many years in Malleswaram?” Twelve years hence, the mystery still remains unexplained and demystified. The architectural find is the Nandeeshwara Temple. This temple was discovered accidentally in the year 1997 during an underground excavation for the construction of a house. It is not clear when the temple got submerged under layers of soil, but it has stood a trying 7000 years (according to some versions) at the same spot. What is even more marvellous is the fact that, its aura has not diminished much, even after being buried for years. According to residents living nearby, the temple was buried in its entirety by layers and layers of ground, and the land above it was a straight and flat stretch. </quote> -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
