A sculpture-portrait of Emperor Ashoka — the only available image of the Mauryan emperor, which is considered the most important thing found in the excavation — is in a small open shed with no protective walls
Sannati, an important Buddhist site in Kalaburagi district excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), is a picture of official apathy with many of the precious items excavated continuing to be housed in temporary sheds near the excavation site, or worse, lying scattered in the open. A few items have been shifted to a museum.
Even a sculpture-portrait of Emperor Ashoka — the only available image of the Mauryan emperor, which is considered the most important thing found in the excavation — is also in a small open shed with no protective walls. Except acquiring 24 acres of land for excavation, the State government has done little to conserve the historic site.
In September 2009, the Karnataka Housing Board took up the construction of a museum, dormitories, staff quarters and compound wall at a cost of ₹3.52 crore on a fairly big plot a few metres away from the excavated site in Kanaganahalli. The structures were almost finished but not handed over to the ASI even a decade later.
