Kadiri (Sathya Sai district): Inscriptions were typically written on stones, temple walls or copper plates. It is remarkably unusual to find inscriptions on palm leaves.
A palm leaf manuscript inscription (replica) dating back to 1474 CE and detailing Sri Veeranjaneya Swamy temple at Palapati Dinna,13 km from Kadiri in Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh was found, according to a press release issued by historian MyNaa Swamy.
