Rare Kakatiya-Era Trident Sculpture Discovered in Telangana

Rare Kakatiya-Era Trident Sculpture Discovered in Telangana

Researchers in Telangana found a special stone sculpture from a long time ago.

It shows two tridents, which are like big forks, and represents two important people named Gundayya and Brahmayya.

These people were part of a religious group called Veerashaiva.

The sculpture is unique because it only shows the tridents, not the people themselves.

Before, people thought these carvings were just regular swords, but now researchers know they are special and important.

There is another similar sculpture in a temple in Warangal district.
