Summary
[edit]Description3rd-century BCE Jonnagiri Erragudi Yerragudi Asoka rock edict inscription, Andhra Pradesh India - 72.jpg |
English: Ashoka's rock edicts were inscribed in 3rd-century BCE. The inscription is in Prakrit language and Brahmi script. Both the major and minor edits are found at Erragudi (also called Yerragudi or Jonnagiri site).
The site consists of a hillock, with many rocky boulders in rural, remote part of peninsular India, near the Andhra Pradesh – Karnataka border. The inscriptions are found on several rocks, written left to right, typically wrapping along the natural curvature of the rock. Some are clearly visible from a distance. Others are a bit faded due to natural erosion, and need closer inspection to find them. No intentional damage is visible at this site. These are among the oldest discovered and dated inscriptions in India. The site is an ASI protected site under Indian laws. |
