A local police official said the chariot might have come from another country.</p>
<p>
The chariot resembles a monastery-like structure commonly found in Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.</p>
<p>
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.</p>
<p>
The higher authorities have been informed about the discovery, he added.</p>
