Rare copper plates shed light on Vengi Chalukya power, patronage in Telangana
HYDERABAD: Of the nine copper plate inscriptions discovered earlier in Kodad, Suryapet district, two more sets have now been decoded, offering fresh insights into the Vengi Chalukya dynasty's political history, royal grants, and military achievements. These inscriptions are preserved at the Department of Heritage in Hyderabad. According to Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Director (Epigraphy) K Muniratnam Reddy, the seventh set, dated Saka 843 (April 22, 921 CE), is written in Sanskrit using the Telugu script. It records the grant of the village Eramgundi and 12 khandugas of land in Etavakili to the temple of Erisvarabhattaraka in Kondapalli visaya. The inscription praises Vijayaditya IV, who ruled for six months, for defeating the Kalinga Gangas, burning the city of Madanapura, and vanquishing a Ratta commander before performing the grand Tulapurusha dana ceremony, donating heaps of gold to several Brahmins. The sixth set, issued by Vikramaditya II, son of Chalukya Bhima I and Vijayamahadevi, bears the royal Varaha (boar) emblem and includes a detailed genealogy tracing the Eastern Chalukya line from its founder Kubja Visnuvardhana, brother of Badami Chalukya emperor Pulakesin II.

Conservation of Mahalaxmi idol at Kolhapur temple completed, deity to open for public from Wednesday
Kolhapur: The conservation of the idol of Goddess Mahalaxmi at the revered Mahalaxmi temple in Kolhapur concluded on Tuesday night. A team from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) inspected the idol on Monday, Aug 11, through a magnifying glass and then carried out the conservation work on Tuesday. The white spots that were visible due to the humidity in the temple's sanctum sanctorum affected the idol, but after the conservation work, these spots have disappeared. Conservation work will be carried out on the idol by ASI routinely every six months, informed PMDS officials. Shivraj Naikwade, Secretary with Paschim Maharashtra Devasthan Samiti (PMDS), said, "Under the guidance of experts from the Central Archaeological Department, the white spots on the Mahalaxmi idol were cleaned through a chemical process. After the conservation process, the original natural colour of the stone in which the idol is made began to appear." This conservation work on the idol was carried out by officials from the Archaeological Chemist Department Branch, Aurangabad, including deputy superintendent of Archaeological Chemist Department Dr S. Vinodh Kumar, Nilesh Mahajan, senior iconographer Sudhir Wagh, and iconographer Manoj Sonawane. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like List of Best Free Live TV Apps miszen Learn More Undo Shripujak (priest) at the temple, Madhav Munishwar, said, "The sanctum sanctorum of Mahalaxmi temple was closed for the past two days due to the conservation process. The devotees had to take the darshan of the Utsav Murti idol and the Kalash kept at Pitali Umbra (brass door) of the temple. With the completion of conservation work, on Wednesday morning, religious rituals will be performed, after which the idol of the deity will be opened for the public after 12 pm on Wednesday. " Meanwhile, due to the Shravan month, the count of devotees has increased in the Mahalaxmi temple.

Devotees must know Mahalaxmi idol's condition: Kolhapur activists
Kolhapur: Paschim Maharashtra Devasthan Samiti (PMDS) has invited experts from the Archaeological Survey of India to carry out a 'routine check-up and conservation process' of the Mahalaxmi idol at Mahalaxmi temple on Monday and Tuesday. This has led Kolhapur-based activists and devotees to question the need for the idol's frequent conservation. During the Monday and Tuesday's check-up, devotees will not get darshan of the original idol. Instead, an 'utsav murti' will be placed outside the temple for the devotees. Dilip Desai, a Kolhapur-based activist, said, "In April last year, the temple was shut for two days for the conservation. For what purpose is the conservation process carried out every six months? We have repeatedly asked the administration to tell us what the condition of the idol is." The authorities maintain the idol is in very good condition and that ASI experts were called for a routine check-up. "We write to ASI asking for experts to check the condition of the idols. They will check the condition of the idol and clean it using scientific methods. Thereafter, if they think that conservation work needs to be carried out on a particular portion, then the next day they will carry it out," said Shivraj Naikwade, secretary of PMDS. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stylish New Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors (Prices May Surprise You) Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Search Now Undo Naikwade further stated that to ensure the idol does not erode, the abhishek was stopped. "The epoxy coating on the idol added weight it. The idol, made of black stone, does not adopt to any foreign material. Cleaning by brush is also not possible; therefore, the cleaning needs to be carried out in the presence of experts," said the secretary.
