मिठू मिठू पोपट....Parrot, Parrot Everywhere

It was widely reported that the 900-year-old 'Parrot Lady' sculpture from Khajuraho could soon find a place at the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Museum. The sandstone piece was returned by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Canada in April.
