Grahapati Kokkala inscription

The Grahapati Kokkala inscription is an epigraphic record documenting the dedication of a Shiva temple. It dates to 1000-1001 CE. It is one of several Chandella era inscriptions that mention a Grahapati family.[1]

It is the earliest known reference to a Grahapati family.[2] Unlike all other Chandella era Grahapati inscriptions which are Jain, this refers to a Shiva temple,[3] although Verse 3 suggests that the builder also worshipped Jinas.
