ROCK-CUT SIVAN KOIL– ARITTAPATTI
HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDS :
The inscription was found engraved in a cave of a hillock, where early Jain monks stayed and preached their faith.
It is just four feet away from another Brahmi inscription discovered by some scholars in 1971. “Since this new inscription is carved with very thin strokes and illegible, it had not attracted of the scholars so far in spite of their frequent visits to this cave,” say the sources.
