| Description | Grantha is a Brahmic script that originated in South India around 5th century CE, primarily used for writing Sanskrit texts in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Evolved from Pallava Grantha (4th-8th c. CE), it served as a bridge script allowing Sanskrit to be written in Dravidian-speaking regions. Used extensively in bilingual temple inscriptions alongside Tamil script, particularly during Pallava, Chola, and Vijayanagara periods. The modern Tamil script descended from Chola-Pallava variant. Grantha also influenced Malayalam, Thai, Javanese, and Balinese scripts. |
