Like many other objects that were recovered by divers in the early 20th century, the "Lingam" was recovered by Mike Wilson who discovered it by accident while shooting a film. <img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h78/premchand/pl5b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> It was returned to the temple, it is one of the few remaining 69 "Lingam's" in the Sub Continent. The destruction was so overwhelming that objects hurriedly hidden, or submerged under the debris or consigned to the sea, continue to be revealed from time to time. A total of 7 Statues depicting Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati have been found by undersea explorers, all have been returned to the temple. Undersea explorers have recently taken submarine photographs of the place, and incidentally discovered the remains of the ancient Hindu temple deep down near the seabed.</blockquote>
