A unique underground library hidden under an ancient palace has been discovered!

A magnificent underground library containing tens of thousands of rare books and manuscripts has been discovered under the historic Tal Koti Palace near the Indian city of Tikamgarh, the Times of India reports.

This historic find was discovered by chance by Vivek Kshatriya, who was appointed as the new tax inspector for the Tikamgarh area. Vivek remembered the stories he had heard from his grandparents about underground treasures as a child and decided to check if the rumors were true.

Kshatriya scouted around the palace and discovered a secret door in the old building. When he ordered the door to be opened, people were stunned: a huge library filled with the oldest, most historical books and manuscripts that had been kept under the palace was revealed.

The library has a total of five underground floors, and it is estimated that more than 50,000 books and ancient manuscripts are stored there. Among them are a rare work called "Gandhi's Drawings" by the famous artist Felix Topolsky, a history of the Indian principalities, and several valuable manuscripts written in Sanskrit.

Some of the books are in good condition, while others are damaged by time. However, most of these ancient treasures are in a readable condition. Some books are covered in genuine leather, while others are made of fine silk. Although the pages are yellowed, they are still readable.

According to experts, the library was originally open to college students, but was closed 20 years ago due to a scandal involving a former librarian and was forgotten for many years.

Currently, the country's leading scientists and experts have fully examined these books and have begun cataloging them. The damaged manuscripts have been handed over to specialists from all over India for restoration and conservation.

According to Vivek Kshotriya's plan, in the near future this underground library will be transformed into a unique cultural center and will serve as a wonderful place for scientists, historians and tourists not only from the local area, but also from all over the world.

Thus, this accidentally discovered underground "treasure trove" can serve humanity for many more years and add new pages to our cultural history.
