KANCHEEPURAM: Chairman Swaminatha Mudaliar Street in the town became the cynosure of all eyes on Friday after a cellar like structure was found at an open site in the street.

It all began around 9 a.m. when a group of construction workers started digging the open site for laying the foundation for a house. Three of them removed a granite slab from the ground only to find a four-foot hole.

At the same time, their colleagues digging the ground at a few feet away from them also found a gapping hole after removing a granite slab. Later, one worker entered the hole, from one side and came out through the other gap, which indicated the presence of a cellar like structure. Hundreds of people converged at the site to have a look at the subterraneous room. As the onlookers started entering the cellar like structure, one of them is said to have found a small `avudaiyar' (ie. the base of sivalingam).

This was denied by the owner of the site.
