ASI Discovers 14th-Century Telugu Inscription in Palnadu
The Archaeological Survey of India found a very old writing from the 14th century in a village called Ravvaram.
This writing is in the Telugu language and talks about a leader named Annadeva who gave some land to a temple.
The land was given so that the temple could have services and food for the goddess Anyasti Amma.
The writing also mentions that Annadeva did this to help his family's spiritual life.
The ASI thinks this is important because it tells us about the history of the area and the people who lived there.
ASI discovered a 14th-century Telugu inscription in Ravvaram village, Palnadu district.
The inscription is written in Telugu script and praises Annadeva, chief of Darsi.
Annadeva donated land behind the village tank at Darsi for temple services.
The land grant was for the goddess Anyasti Amma and to provide food offerings.
The donation was made for the spiritual merit of Annadeva's family members.
