Sri Arindam Banerjee,
Salutations.
Just a note. I don't know if you saw an article published, I think in the
Scientific American around march 1993, on the archeological analysis of the
caldron found in Germany. During the time of Hitler it was declared as
Germanic origin. But the quoted analysis brings out the fact that the
pictures on the vessel resemble the Vishnu chakra and the Goddess Lakshmi
with two elephants in a ceremonial bath. The analysists concludes that
they are from the Mahanjadaro period. If you have not seen it and cannot
find it and interested, I will try to find the exact reference. Hari Om.
