Claim: Photo of a sculpture carved in stone at Naga Vasuki temple, located in Prayag city of Uttar Pradesh.

Fact: Sculpture in the photo belongs to the Utsav Rock Garden in Haveli district of Karnataka. This sculpture is described as the ‘Artistic Banyan Tree’ in Utsav Rock Garden website. This sculpture has nothing related to the Naga Vasuki temple in Prayag. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

In the website, this sculpture is described as the ‘Artistic Banyan Tree’. This sculpture was also found in a video posted on the official YouTube channel of Utsav Rock Garden.

To sum it up, a sculpture belonging to the Utsav Rock Garden in Karnataka is falsely shared as the sculpture of Naga Vasuki temple in Prayag.
