The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has commenced excavations at Nachne village in the Panna district of Madhya Pradesh with the aim of discovering India's oldest temple.
The excavation sites are located near the Nachna Hindu temples, which include a Gupta-era Parvati temple and a Chaumukh Nath temple from the Kalachuri dynasty. These temples are among the earliest surviving stone temples in central India, potentially dating back to the Gupta Empire era.
Archaeologists believe that a significant historical site lies buried beneath Nachne village. The ongoing excavation is expected to unveil more about the ancient history and architectural heritage of the region.
