One of many Brahmi script inscriptions at Kanheri Caves
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Kanheri caves have more than 100 inscriptions. The vast majority of these are in Brahmi script, two in early Devanagari, three in Pallavi script. Most are Prakrit language inscriptions, two are ancient Sanskrit. The inscriptions range from 2nd-century BCE to 15th-century. About 30 inscriptions are from the 2nd-century CE, about 50 are from the 5th- and 6th-centuries CE. They are dedicatory but contain information about the Indian culture and religious practices as well.
The above inscription is found near the entrance of Cave 3, Kanheri (Krishnagiri) caves. |
