Stone Inscriptions of Bangalore

Inscription Stones of Bangalore,
A Physical Verification Project

by Udaya Kumar P L
Introduction
This is documentation of a self-funded project motivated by the desire to learn more about my home city-
Bangalore, and to publicize the learnings
A very key learning so far has been that we have in our city - in the urban jungle that Bangalore has turned
into, a plethora of historical evidences in the form of centuries old stone inscriptions !
Unfortunately most of these have been misunderstood or ignored and lie in pitiable, unsafe surroundings .
While a fair number of these stone inscriptions are still intact and readable, many also have been destroyed,
most sadly in the last decade or so. If the present state of ignorance about them continues, then the pace at
which they will be destroyed is bound to increase - given the maddening pace at which the city is growing
and the increased pressures to encroach on the space they occupy. However with better awareness about
what they really are, the chances of their being valued & therefore secured are much higher.
All photos in this presentation are mine and can be freely reproduced. I hope but do not insist that I will be
credited as the photographer and the person who (re)recognized these stones for what they really are !
This is a living document which will be continually updated to reflect the state of more stone inscriptions in
the city as I learn about them. As of 12-Sep-2017 I have verified some 68 of the 160 odd stone inscriptions
known to have been in Bangalore per historians.
In due course I will add to this presentation the exact locations of these stones so that anyone interested
may also go see them.

Inscription Stones of Bangalore by Udayakumar.pl@gmail.com

Stone Inscriptions A Primer
Stone Inscriptions (Shila Shasanas) are excellent sources of information
about the local history of a place . They provide information about
Martyrdom in war/defending cattle/defending women/hunting an

elephant/tiger/bear,.
self killing for varied reasons.by a soldier at his kings funeral/for the fulfilment of
a vow/fast unto death for religious reasons/widowing/
the names of the local chieftain & empire of the time
the genealogy of the King
names of places and regions in use at the time
astronomical events such as solar eclipses, solistices..
the evolution of language over the centuries
units of length/area/currency..in use at the time
religious practices grants to temples, shraddas, popular festivals
the construction of villages & lakes

Inscription Stones (Shila Shashanas ) & Snake (Naga) Stones
The two are completely different, Inscription Stones are often
poorly dressed, visually unappealing with inscriptions carved on
them. They usually do not carry any carvings of Snakes or other
Deities. But Inscription stones do often have a full circle and a
crescent carved at the top. These are symbolic indications that
the contents of the inscription are valid for as long as the Sun &
Moon are around (for all time to come). An inscription stone may
sometimes include a deity (often a linga or a padma) depiction
between the Sun and the Moon carvings.
Naga stones sport the carving of a snake(s) and do not have any
inscriptions on them. Naga stones are very common and are found
in most streets! While some of these Naga stones may be hundreds
of years old, there is not much of history to be gleaned from them.
They are essentially religious in nature
Often people mistake Inscription Stones for Naga stones and

worship them too !

The last part is a

The Stone Inscriptions Of Bangalore
Per historical records*, the Bangalore region in the late 1800s had about
200 stone inscriptions in its various villages & towns. These inscriptions
span the period 517AD-1858AD and are an important record of the
villages of that time and events there. The language and scripts of these
inscriptions are Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Persian languages.
Except in the case of a few well known inscriptions, the status of most of
these are unknown today. This project (a self funded, citizen initiative) is
an attempt to track these stones in the urban jungle of Bangalore,
document their state and in due course attempt to ensure these stones
are recognised for what they are and secured from destruction.
*Epigraphia Carnatica (1905), Mysore Archaeological Reports (1906,7,11..), South Indian Inscriptions
What Can Be Done With These Inscriptions ?
I am of the opinion that these stones should not be
moved to a Museum or some such distant place for
safe keeping. If moved, their connection with the
place of installation will be lost & the opportunity to
educate local people about their heritage greatly
diminished! In my dreams, I see these stones
encircled in a low 6" platform (to protect them) and
an adjacent modern day stone carrying translations
of the inscription in Kannada and English.
This is exactly what has been done in the

Veerashaiva Mutta at Vibhutipura ! That particular
inscription tells the story of the village - that in the
year 1307, the jungle around was cleared, a lake
constructed and the lands exempt from tax. Imagine
the pride a resident today would walk away with
when he learns all that from the inscription!!!

Evolution Of The Kannada Alphabet
For fun, I tried to rewrite a beautiful vachana by Allama Prabhu a 12th-century
Veershaiva saint using Kannada fonts of his time.
If this were a real stone inscription Hoysala carvers would have turned it into
an absolute beauty of course!
Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI)
Not being a trained archaeologist/epigraphist I am not conversant with the traditional technique of
estampage to record inscriptions, anyways I am not keen to touch the stones at all . So I researched for
digital imaging techniques that would help me capture inscriptions and found a technique called
Reflectance Transformation Imaging that seems good for the purpose. I have tried the technique on one
inscription and am amazed by the result. Here is a small video clip of that exercise. This was my first
attempt with the technique and the quality of the photographs I took were far from the recommended
quality . The flash failed to go off while shooting some 15 photographs, but still the result was quite
impressive:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx3lPVZmOyU&t=4s
I hope to build RTI models of all existing stone inscriptions in Bangalore and share them freely in the
months to come !
If you would like to understand the power of RTI, you will need to download the RTI viewer from
http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Offer/Downloads/View/index.html
And look this model of one Bangalore inscription:
