Inscriptions in the HASSAN DISTRICT

By: B Lewis Rice

Part of the monumental Epigraphia Carnatica series, this volume by B. Lewis Rice offers a comprehensive scholarly record of the ancient inscriptions found within the Hassan District of Karnataka, India. Compiled during the late 19th century, the work meticulously documents stone and copper plate grants, providing transliterations and translations that shed light on the political, social, and religious history of the Hoysala, Ganga, and Vijayanagara dynasties. As a primary resource for Indologists and historians, it preserves critical epigraphical data from major sites like Shravanabelagola and Belur, serving as an essential window into the medieval administration, land grants, and linguistic evolution of the region.
