Splendid art Pavilion of Kakatiyas Needs Urgent Restoration
The Trikuta Temple at Muppram village in Warangal district is a living testimony to the Kakatiya rulers' passion for promoting and preserving natural paintings from the episodes of Ramayana in pristine forms.
The paintings of Ramayana, which are etched on the ceiling of the temple, are a connoisseur's delight. However, this precious and unique treasure of art now lies in shatter due to the apathy of officials concerned while nature's vagaries over the years have made them fade out. The temple itself is also in a state of neglect, which needs urgent restoration for preserving the Kakatiya heritage for future generations.
Telangana has a hoary history and possesses several ancient monuments of great archaeological, historical as well as cultural significance.

Egypt Discovers 2,500 Year-old Intact Coffins
Egyptian authorities announced the discovery of a collection of more than 13 intact sealed coffins dating back to 2,500 years ago.
The coffins were found at an archaeological site in Saqqara necropolis in Giza.
The coffins, along with three sealed niches, were unearthed inside an 11-meter-deep shaft.
Tourism and Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anany and Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), visited the site and inspected the excavation work in the shaft.
The discovery marks the largest number of coffins found in one burial place since the discovery of the Asasif Cachette, referring to the discovery of 30 ancient coffins in October 2019 at Asasif cemetery in Upper Egypt's Luxor Province.
