If we accept the BigBang theory, during such a huge explosion, if matter travels in all the direction homogeneously. Then what ever was at the core should have remained there isn't it?
So as per BigBang theory, does it say any thing about what was left at the center of this explosion? and has it been observed?

Where is the center? *There isn't one*. Although apparently nonsensical, consider the same question about the *surface* of a sphere (note the *surface*). Where's the center of a sphere's surface? Of course, there isn't one. One cannot point to any point on a sphere's surface and say that, here is the center. Similarly, because the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic, all we can say is that, in the past, galaxies were closer together. We cannot say that galaxies started expanding from any particular point.

Based upon observations so far the Big Bang did not send matter traveling in all the direction homogeneously.
As for what remained at the core or center of the event there is no known information. Humans have maped only about 25% of the know matter of the universe as of the latest estimates. There is a very large amount of the universe missing and astrophysicists have yet to figure out where it is.
There is a train of thought that the Big Bang was even bigger than was originally envisioned by as much as a factor of 100. Making most of the universe beyond what we are at this time able to confirm.
You should read the book "The Expanding Universe" very interesting reading.

You are asking what is at the center of the universe. Currently, telescopes are not powerful enough to give us very much infomation at that distance. However, as far as we know, there is nothing special located at the center of the universe. At least, no astronomical theories predict the existence of a "core" remaining from the Big Bang.

There is NO center to our universe. Before the Big Bang there was no spacetime. At the very first instant of the Big Bang spacetime began and began every "where" at once. Do NOT think of the Big Bang as an explosion. An explosion happens inside some thing, and as far as science knows there was no "thing" before the Big Bang, no "thing" in which it occurred.

Yes, NASA had cameras that saw the big bang...
The big bang is more like everything exploding from 1 single particle, so to see it would be impossible...with eyes anyway. As far as my limited understanding goes

Big Bang is not an explosion as you think. Further reading advised.;

microwave background radiation.some scientist have suggested darkmatter is the remnants of bigbang.however there would be no evidence of anything at the moment of the big bang since it occured at a singularity

That's the point. Scientists haven't been able to determine what was at the 'BB'. So it would be difficult to know what was left.

It may be heated lava. The remanats are the volanic erruptions and hills.

no
it stats that everything it is moving outwards
no clue about what is in the center
