The article discusses the restoration of the Temple of Lord Jagannath in Puri, India, by the Archaeological Survey of India. The restoration of the temple, which dates back to the 11th century, involved removing coats of lime plaster that had been applied many times throughout the centuries. Rusted iron clamps also needed to be replaced. The removal of the outer layers of plaster reveal sculptures and decorative designs carved in the stone structure underneath. Carvings of the god Vishnu emerged in forms unseen elsewhere in India.
