"CSK players and support staff are distressed."

India’s renowned archaeologist and scholar Professor SR Rao passed away on Thursday at his residence in Jaynagar, Bangalore.
Rao had two major path-breaking excavations to his credit, namely the Harappan port of Lothal and the submerged city Dwarka of Lord Krishna.
Dr Rao had carried out excavation work at north Gujarat’s Siddhpur based Rudramahal site amid protests of local Muslims. He had discovered a mandir within the structure of converted mosque.

His work on Dwaraka is incomparable
The best tribute we can pay to him is to take his work to its completion.

His findings related to Lord Krishna and Dwarka have silenced all cynics of Hinduism. Please visit Krishna Museum at Kurukshetra and see the Artefacts found by him – related to Dwarka and Indus Valley Civilisation. You will realise what a great man he was – deserves a Bharat Ratna !
