Ancient Odia Inscription Discovered in Tekkali Temple, Unveiling Kalinga's Past

Imagine finding an old message hidden in a temple!

That's what happened in a temple in Andhra Pradesh.

The message is written in an old style of writing called Odia, from a time when a powerful family called the Gangas ruled.

This message tells us about a queen named Nilamani Devi.

She was part of the Ganga family and helped build or take care of the temple.

This shows that people in this area, which is now in Andhra Pradesh, and people in southern Odisha were connected a long time ago through their language, beliefs, and art.

It's like finding a piece of a puzzle that helps us understand how these places used to be friends and share things.

People want the government to protect this special message from the past.
