Medieval Kannada and Jain Inscriptions Discovered in Maharashtra Temples
Researchers have uncovered two significant medieval inscriptions in Maharashtra. A 13th-century Kannada inscription at Jeur's Kashiling Mahadev Temple features a Sanskrit invocation to Lord Shiva and possibly references the Yadava dynasty, though its dating is provisional due to damage. Separately, a 12th-century Jain inscription at Achaler's Mallikarjun Temple site reveals evidence of a Vijay Parshvanath Jain temple built by monk Subhasena Muni of the Yapaniya Sangha, supported by the presence of a Parshvanath idol. Both findings shed light on the region's historical religious heritage.
