A hoard of coins has been uncovered at Jambukeswarar Temple. Hundreds of gold coins were unearthed in a pot that could date back over a millennium, to when this area was part of the mighty Chola dynasty . The find is rather mysterious as no one knows how the pot of gold coins got there and its origin.
The treasure was found near the city of Tiruchirappalli, which is in the state of Tamil Nadu in southeast India. It was made in the world-famous Jambukeswarar Temple. This temple is dedicated to Shiva, one of the principal deities in the Hindu pantheon.
