Mysuru: The State Archaeology Department has begun excavation in and around the historic and ancient site of Talakad looking for clues about earlier human habitation. The place is well- known for historical monuments that date back to 5th Century AD. Gangas were in power there then.
A formal guddali puja was performed at the excavation site on Dec. 10 by officials of Archaeology Department and over 40 workers are now engaged in cleaning the sites that have been earmarked for excavation.
