Avantipur Temple, Kashmir.

The temple has been buried underground for centuries until the excavation in the 18th century by the English. Today's ground level can be seen in the buildings in the background.

In the 18th century the Avantiswami Temple was excavated by the English. Some idols were taken to museums in England, but quite a few can still be seen in the SPS Museum in Srinagar.
