In an effort to verify the authenticity of the statue, Fact Seeker conducted an investigation. However, no evidence supporting the existence of such a site with a submerged statue of Lord Shiva could be found online.

 

Further analysis revealed that the video was, in fact, AI-generated, shared by the X account @poongodiSugandh. However, some individuals continue to believe in the video’s authenticity, as seen in the comments section.

Additionally, Fact Seeker identified a statue of Lord Buddha in the ocean floor, which shares striking similarities with the statue featured in the video. Both images exhibit comparable colors and quality, leading to the conclusion that they were both generated using the AI tool Midjorney.

Accordingly, Fact Seeker confirms that the video of the Shiva statue on the deep bed circulating on social media is, AI-generated.
