Hyderabad: A major archaeological discovery has occurred in the village of Tirumaragiri in the Nalgonda district, revealing new Kakatiya inscriptions that shed light on the religious and historical significance of the area. Former MP Chevva Brahmananda Reddy and historian Venepalli Panduranga Rao discovered an inscription plaque inside the Anjaneya Temple.
The inscription is on a broad granite slab with intricate carvings depicting the sun, moon and Shiva Linga. Below these symbols is Bhudana Shaana, written in the 13th-century Telugu script. But the full inscription remains hidden as the slab is partially sunk into the ground. After careful excavation, the complete inscription was revealed and subsequently deciphered by Sriramoju Haragopal, convener of Kotha Telangana Charitra Brundam.
According to the inscriptions that have been resolved, someone is said to have apparently granted the land to the famous Peruvian god Somanatadev. The inscription reads: “Swastishri Peruri So Manatha Devara Na..pali(a)vuruna..ni Dattina Kha (Gum)Dratula Kha………….5 The….” 2′ Haas. “
Haragopal noted that the word ‘Kha’ in this article refers to ‘Khanduka’, denoting land suitable for rice cultivation. Notably, the land granted included two separate plots dedicated to growing grain.
