Exhibitions
Curated walks through the objects on this site: inscriptions, coins and temples, each with where it was found and where it is today.
Written in stone and copper
Inscriptions are the firmest dated evidence for Bharat’s past: kings had their grants, victories and gifts cut into rock, pillars and copper plates, and many still stand where they were made. Here every inscription on this site is shown in order of date, with where it was found and where it is kept today.
