Monogram of Jain inscriptions getting ready in Hassan
Hassan: In an attempt to conserve the ancient stone inscriptions found in Vindhyagiri, Chandragiri and other monuments of Shravanabelagola, a popular Jain pilgrimage centre in Hassan, the Archaeological Survey of India has launched a project to copy them and make a monogram to spread awareness among people about their historical significance. A team of 10 epigraphists has so far copied about 138 stone inscriptions from various monuments, including Vindhyagiri, also called Doddabetta. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Superintending Archaeologist, ASI, Bengaluru Circle, Moortheeswari said the monogram of stone inscriptions would be released during the much awaited Mahamastakabhisheka of Bahubali in February. “Whatever is written in stone will be brought to the people's attention through the monogram to help them understand its historical significance and keep them from damaging them,” she explained.
