William Henry Pigou (1818-1858)
Stone with Inscription at Sonduttee 1855
-
Photograph of an inscribed stone slab from Sonduttee (Saundatti) in Karnataka. The image is described as 'the Sanskrit and Kanarese inscription slab of Krishna Rastrakuta, Shaka 797 (c. 875), and Vikramaditya, Shaka 1017 (c. 1095 A.D).'
Saundatti, near Belgaum in Karnataka, was once the capital of the Rattas, before they shifted to Belgaum in the twelfth century. The town is one of Karnataka's most famous pilgrimage sites because of its temple dedicated to the powerful goddess Yellamma. -
