ASI archaeologists discovered a 16th-century inscription of Vijayanagara ruler Sadasivadevaraya in Seshachalam Reserve Forest.
The inscription is written in Telugu, Kannada, and Tamil, highlighting the linguistic diversity of the era.
It records the king’s visit to Sadasivakona for a holy bath and the founding of a new Siva temple.
Tax revenues from Gudimallam’s Parasuramesvara Temple were allocated to sustain the new site’s religious activities.
