A couple of Siva Lingams made of stone were found when repair works were undertaken inside the Jambukeswarar Akilandeswari Temple at Tiruvanaikoil here on Friday.
The stone idols were found near Therukku Vaasal where plants and bushes were being cleared for supply of water to a coconut grove nearby, said temple officials.
