Kodigehalli inscriptions and hero stones
Kodigehalli inscriptions and hero stones

The area encompassing Kodigehalli and its sub-localities—Tindlu and Doddabommasandra—in Bengaluru contains several epigraphical and sculptural artifacts dating primarily from the 14th to 16th centuries CE. These include three Kannada inscriptions and two hero stones (Viragal, commemorative stones for fallen warriors). The name "Kodigehalli" likely originates from the Kannada words kodige (grant) and halli (village), possibly referencing a land grant detailed in one of the inscriptions found here. Over time, Kodigehalli became the predominant name for the area, largely replacing the older name, Virupakshapura, although a locality named Virupakshapura still exists within modern Kodigehalli. Among the findings is a Kannada inscription attributed to Prataparaya, dating to 1431 CE, which records a donation made during a solar eclipse to the Someyadeva temple in Sakanasamudra. This inscription contributes to Indian astronomical history by providing a specific date, 9 August 1431 CE (Julian calendar), linked to a solar eclipse, an event corroborated by NASA's Five Millennium Catalogue Of Solar Eclipses. The inscription's text has been published in Volume 9 of Epigraphia Carnatica, a key source for inscriptions in the region, and has been digitally archived by the Mythic Society. Two other inscriptions, from Tindlu and Doddabommasandra, date to the 14th and 15th centuries CE, respectively. The Tindlu inscription documents a donation by medieval merchant guilds, offering insights into historical trade practices. The Doddabommasandra inscription records a donation to an Agrahara (a settlement granted to Brahmins for learning and religious duties). In addition to the inscriptions, Kodigehalli houses two hero stones, which feature sculptures commemorating individuals who died in battle but lack accompanying inscriptions.
