TN begins excavation in Maski after finding Chola-era stone edict
The Archaeology Department of the tamil Nadu government has provided significant funding for the excavation, indicating the significance of this undertaking. The excavation's main goal is to learn more about the Chola rulers' early history, who came originally from tamil Nadu.
Discoveries of tamil inscriptions in the region offer important new perspectives on the centuries-old battles between the Pallavas, Cholas, and kannada monarchs. Researchers Channabassaya Hiremath Muski claim that the Chola era inscription found at "Sulidibba" significantly expanded upon the historical records already in existence.
In an interview with india Herald, Raichur-based historian Channabassaiah Hiremath underlines the significance of this collaborative endeavor and looks forward to fresh discoveries resulting from it.
The tamil Nadu government has shown significantly more interest and funding in the excavation effort than karnataka, even after many requests to the State Archaeology Department.
