Vijayawada: The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has permitted the epigraphy wing of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to copy all inscriptions engraved on the walls of the second prakara of the Sri Venkateswara temple at Tirumala from December 1 to 11.
The estampages, transcripts and gist of the inscriptions will be made available online for the public, scholars and researchers through the Bharat Shared Repository of Inscriptions (BharatSHRI).
Nearly 750 inscriptions issued by rulers of various dynasties, including the Pallavas, Cholas, Pandyas, Kadavarayas, Yadavas, Telugu Cholas and Vijayanagara, are to be documented.
ASI (Epigraphy) Director Munirathnam Reddy thanked the Andhra Pradesh government and TTD for permitting the documentation of the inscriptions.
In its proceedings, TTD authorised the ASI to copy, digitise and upload the inscriptions, including those recording Sri Krishnadevaraya’s conquests over various chiefs and kings, on the BharatSHRI website.
