Edakal hill, about 6 km. south-west of Sultan's Battery (Sultan Batheri) in Wynad District, Kerala, is near the junction of the present states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The hill is about 1500 ft. above the local ground level and 4000 ft. above the mean sea level. On the western slope of the hill near the summit is a large cave whose walls are covered with prehistoric carvings, among which a few inscriptions of later times are found (Fig. 1.³).
