Fact Check: Truth about underwater sculptures found in the sea off Indonesia

A collage of several images of underwater sculptures has gone viral on social media with the claim that these are 5,000-year-old Hindu idols found in the sea off Indonesia’s Bali. India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that these stone idols are part of an underwater garden created artificially at Pemuteran in northern Bali. The sculptures were created by some scuba divers in 2005 as part of a coral reef conservation project.
