New inscription documented at Kondaveedu fort

Another inscription has been brought to light at Kondaveedu fort, The Hindu reports. The record is located on the right-hand doorway pillar of the ruined Siva temple at Rudrapada Sikharam. According to the Archaeological Survey of India’s chief of epigraphy, it grants four “putlu” of wetland to gurus associated with Tapanacharyulu.

The supplied material does not provide the inscription’s date, language or script. It also does not explain the historical identity of Tapanacharyulu, define the measurement “putlu” or identify the recipients beyond their association with the named figure. The discovery adds a newly documented record to the site’s surviving material, but the available information does not give further details about how the inscription was found or what it may reveal about the temple’s history.
