SHAHJAHANPUR, INDIA, February 19, 2024 (Sanatan Prabhat): Deity Shrikrushna appeared in the dream of Vinod Singh’s 13-year-old daughter Pooja, in Safaura village here. She got a vision that a murti of the Deity was buried under the land near a dargah (Muslim shrine or tomb built over the grave of a religious figure). When Pooja’s family dug at the spot, a murti of Deity Shrikrushna was found. When Pooja first told her family about her dream, they ignored her. After she stopped eating for the next 10 days the family had to believe in Pooja’s words. Believing in Pooja’s words, her father Vinod Singh along with Pooja, reached near the dargah along with other villagers. Pooja drew a line near the spot where she had seen the murti in her dream. This place was about 100 ft. away from the dargah. After worshiping, excavation work began. After digging around 3 feet, an ancient 1 foot tall copper murti of Shrikrushna was found.

Vinod Singh installed the murti in his own farm, 1.55 miles away from the dargah. People started worshiping the murti. Due to the crowds taking darshan, additional Police have been deployed for security. Deputy Magistrate Anjali Gangwar said that the archaeological significance of this murti will be investigated. Vikas Khurana, Head of S. S. college’s History Department, said that the copper murti appears to be from the Gupta period. Such murtis were being made in the 7th century. Everything will become clear after the archaeological investigation.
