Kinalur inscription (1083 AD) is a lost Jain record from Kinalur, around 30 km north-east of Calicut, in north Kerala. [1] The inscription describes the provisions made by Arappan Kunchi, the chieftain of Kurumpurai-nadu, for "Kunavaynallur Vijayaragishwaram Jain Temple". [1]
The old Malayalam record, in Vattezhuthu with some Grantha characters, reveals the original name of Kinalur as Kunavaynallur. [1] It seems that Kunavaynallur was named after Thirukkunavay Shrine, another lost Jain temple near Kodungallur. [2] The inscription was engraved on both sides of a single granite slab in site of the ruined (now lost) Kinalur Jain Temple. The estampage can be found in Government Epigraphist's Office, Mysore.
