A temple located in Koteshwar gained attention when the surrounding shallow lake was cleaned in a de-silting project under the Administration of Markod Gopalkrishna Shetty. During the cleanup a large statue was dredged up, sparking a more concerted effort which recovered several artifacts of historic and religious significance, including several sculptures, statues, bronzework and religious icons.[2]
