A local police official said the chariot might have come from another country.
The chariot resembles a monastery-like structure commonly found in Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
However, there is also a distinct possibility that the structure may have been used as part of a set for a film shoot along the Indian coast.
The higher authorities have been informed about the discovery, he added.
