Medieval-Era Land Grant Inscription Discovered at Kondaveedu Fort in Andhra Pradesh
An inscription dating to the 14th century was discovered on a pillar at the Kondaveedu Fort's Rudrapada peak in Andhra Pradesh. Found by the Kondaveedu Fort Development Committee, the inscription appears to be a continuation of an earlier find and records a land grant of four puttis for permanent use to Tapanacharya, a respected guru. The text has been sent to the Archaeological Survey of India's epigraphy director for detailed decipherment. This marks the sixth inscription identified by the committee at the site.
