Digital Goa, Sep 3 – Archaeological remains dating between the 14th and 16th centuries have been discovered during restoration work at Shree Saptakoteshwar Temple in Diwar, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant informed.The finds along the old pathway between Koti Tirth and Madhavachi Talli include a Kirtimukh motif, a carved temple pillar capital and parts of Dev Khostam used for placing idols.
