N2  - From the archaeological point of view, by far the most valuable antiquities in Travancore are inscriptions on stone, copper and palm-leaf. A survey of the State has resulted in the discovery of about 1,500 inscriptions. Over 1,300 of these are engraved on stone, 160 on copper plates, and the rest on palm-leaf. Some of these have much historical and paleographical importance. They throw considerable light on the early history of the Chera,Pandya,Chola, Travancore and Vijayanagara kings and also of the Madura Naiks. The scripts employed in the inscriptions are Vatteluttu, Koleluttu, Grantha, Old Tamil and to a small extent Devanagiri and Malayalam
