India retrieves stolen 12th-century idol from London
India recently retrieved a stolen 12th-century idol of Brahma and Brahmani from London. The idol was stolen from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Rani-ki-Vav in Gujarat's Patan in 2001 and smuggled out of the country, Archaeological Survey of India officials said. An 11th-century sandstone idol of Lord Ganesha was also stolen from Open Sky Museum at the same time.
