Eastern Ganga-Era Odia Inscription Found in Tekkali Temple

Imagine finding an old message written on a stone inside a temple!

This message is from a very long time ago, when a dynasty called the Eastern Ganga ruled.

It was found in a town called Tekkali, in a place called Andhra Pradesh.

The message is written in an old way of writing called Odia script, but the words are in Sanskrit.

It talks about a queen named Nīlamanī Devī, who was married to a king.

She was part of the famous Eastern Ganga family, who built big temples.

This discovery shows that the people of ancient Odisha and this part of Andhra Pradesh were connected a long time ago.

The temple where it was found is also very old and has beautiful carvings, showing a shared style of art.

People think this important piece of history should be protected.
