Explanation:

The statue was discovered entirely by chance. In 1861 British railway engineer E.B. Harris was working on the Indian Railway in Sultanganj, north east India. While searching for ballast he began excavating a vast mound of bricks which formed part of the remains of an abandoned Buddhist monastery or vihara.
