Mysuru: “Do stones speak? Yes! They do speak to a historian,” said Prof. M.K. Mruthyunjaya, who spoke on the art and architecture of Hoysala period, at a lecture organised by the Department of History, SBRR Mahajana First Grade College, here recently.
Speaking on the importance of stones as a source of history, Prof. Mruthyunjaya, a retired Professor of History, Mirle Government College, said, “Stone inscriptions, murals and monuments chronicle the stories of war and many incidents of those times. They are a direct source of information of what happened and much more. Thus, they unravel known and lesser known facts.”
