Pallava Epigraphy

This repository of approximately 550 inscriptions contains the inscriptions of the Pallava dynasty (4th-9th century, South India). It is based on the corpus constituted by T.V. Mahalingam (Inscriptions of the Pallavas [IP], New Delhi, 1988) made of 375 inscriptions. This corpus is supplemented with inscriptions found after this publication, for instance those collected by D. Dayalan (Computer Application in Indian Epigraphy (Pallava Period), New Delhi, 2005).

An inscription is here considered a Pallava inscription if it dates from the Pallava period (4th to 9th century approximately) and comes from an area which was under the Pallava rule at this time.
