Ancient Bengaluru’s Secrets Unveiled: New Inscriptions Discovered

Researchers at The Mythic Society in Bengaluru have unearthed a trove of inscriptions in various parts of the city, shedding light on the region’s rich and often forgotten history. These newly discovered inscriptions, dating back several centuries, offer valuable insights into the social, religious, and political landscapes of ancient Bengaluru.

One significant find is a set of inscriptions discovered in Kumbarahalli village, Hesaraghatta. Dating back to 1033 CE, these inscriptions, written in Kannada and Tamil, reveal details about land donations made to a local temple. They provide evidence of the Chola dynasty’s influence in the region and offer a glimpse into the religious practices of the time.

Another set of inscriptions, found in the Gongadipura area, near Bengaluru University, sheds light on the city’s past as an educational hub. These inscriptions, dating back to the 14th century, mention “agraharas” and “mangalas,” which were likely centers of learning and religious instruction. This discovery supports the theory that Bengaluru was once a thriving center of intellectual activity.

The Mythic Society’s ongoing research has uncovered over 90 previously undocumented inscriptions in Bengaluru and surrounding areas. These inscriptions cover a wide range of topics, including land grants, religious practices, and historical events. They provide valuable primary sources for historians and researchers seeking to understand the region’s complex past.

The discovery of these inscriptions is a significant achievement for the Mythic Society and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Bengaluru. These ancient texts offer a unique window into the past, allowing us to connect with the people and events that shaped the city we know today.
