What Hunt, 1924, calls pillar stones, a few of which were noticed at Begumpet in Hyderabad city, are perhaps menhirs. In the Godavari valley is found a type known as cruciform monoliths (King, 1887), which may be the combination of menhir and cist and also the forerunner of the anthropomorphic figure at NITTUR in Dt Dharmapuri (Narasimhaiah, 1975). - [Previous: v1.c9.s17.79](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.79) - [Next: v1.c9.s17.81](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.81) - [Up: v1.c9.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.80](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.80) · Pramāṇa
