 2019-2026 DHARMAbase This inscription was found at the Benakayya-guḍi near the Cennakeśava Temple in Gaṅgāpuram, Mahbubnagar Taluk and District in Telangana. The inscription is engraved on three sides of a slab but the top has been lost, making the inscription incomplete. The date has been conjectured based on the incomplete details that remain, the mention of Kalyāṇa Cālukya king Tailapa II, and the tenth-century paleography. It records the establishment of a Jaina temple and the consecration of an idol of Cenna Pārśvanātha by the senior jewel merchant, Kāliseṭṭi Tūbaḷa, and the gift of income from levies on commodities such as areca nut for the ritual fuctions of the temple.
