TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: Anantapur. A 16th-century Telugu inscription has been discovered in Tadipatri, Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. Inscriptions are considered primary sources for reconstructing regional history, administration, and culture. Epigraphy is the scientific study of inscriptions engraved on durable materials like stone, metal, and copper plates. Telugu inscriptions help in understanding language development, script evolution, and political authority in the Deccan region. The 16th century in South India corresponds to the late Vijayanagara period and regional political transitions. Inscriptions from this period commonly record land grants, donations, temple construction, and religious endowments. Tadipatri is historically significant for temple architecture and inscriptional evidence. Temple inscriptions help identify rulers, local chiefs, donors, and chronology of religious institutions. Stone inscriptions are widely found in temple complexes across South India. Epigraphic evidence is crucial for studying medieval South Indian socio-economic and religious life. Telugu is a major Dravidian language with rich inscriptional heritage in Andhra Pradesh. Medieval inscriptions in Andhra Pradesh are also found in Sanskrit and Kannada alongside Telugu.
