2,500-year-old burial urn discovered near Bargur

A 2,500-year-old burial urn and several artifacts were discovered in Kandikuppam village near Bargur, Krishnagiri district, during excavation for temple construction work. Revenue officials and archaeological researchers arrived at the site to recover the findings.

The recovered items, which have been handed over to the government museum, include black-and-red pottery shards, earthen pots, and over 50 bone fragments. Museum curator Sivakumar suggested that based on the presence of an iron object found alongside the remains, the site likely served as a burial ground for a tribal leader.
