KARACHI -- Excavators have unearthed a treasure trove of precious
murtis (idols), while digging at the Shri Punj Mukhee Mandir located in Soldier Bazaar.

Murtis. Believers and nonbelievers will sit for a few minutes and perhaps say a prayer, "just in case." However, Hinduism is profound, and the messages are so subtle and beautifully intricate that unless you strive to go deeper, you might miss them altogether.

Murtis for Temples but no one entertained the request.
The court orders have been violated by not placing
murtis in Katas Raj Temple.
