About me

Hello! I am a Computer Science graduate, with a deep, active interest in epigraphy, historical documentation, and regional Indian history. I enjoy uncovering and preserving local histories that might otherwise be overlooked, specifically by analyzing and transliterating medieval inscriptions.

My editing focus

My work on Wikipedia primarily focuses on:

Expanding and verifying the regional history of villages in Andhra Pradesh (particularly in the Prakasam and Nellore districts).
Documenting medieval Telugu and Tamil temple inscriptions.
Tracing the historical footprints of the Kakatiya dynasty, the Kondavidu Reddi kings, and the Vijayanagara Empire through local stone edicts and copper plate grants.
Rescuing and digitizing public domain archives and archaeological surveys.

Articles I've worked on

Here is a log of the pages I have created or significantly expanded:

Madanur - Created article; added 12th and 16th-century inscription history and demographics.
Ethamukkala - Expanded medieval history and epigraphical connections.
Pakala - Added Kakatiya-era temple history, Tamil inscription transliteration notes, and British-era salt production statistics.
