Memorial of Kali
An inscription at Atkuru of the Rashtrakuta king Krishna III's
period, depicts the heroic deeds of a brave hound, Kali. The illustration of the
hero-stone is as informative as the inscription itself. Its master, Manalar, has
made sure that his loved Kali is depicted stronger and mightier than the wild
boar. The memorials also provide an illustrated account on different facts of
social and religious life of a given period. However, this unique source of
information is not put to full use by scholars. Researchers interested in dress,
ornaments, hair style, flags, weapons, emblems, musical instruments, domestic
scenes, arts, crafts, utensils, pastimes of the period can rely upon this
authentic information
