12th-Century Chola Inscription Unearthed in Munagala Forest

Archaeologists have found an old stone message, like a history book, in a forest.

This message is written in Tamil and tells a story from the time of a Chola king, a long time ago.

The message is about a king who gave land to people who worked at a temple.

The people who wrote this message wanted to tell everyone about the king's generous gift and what he did for the temple and the community.

Finding this stone helps us learn more about the people and the history of that time.

It also teaches us about how people lived long ago.
