The Bagaha Copperplate inscription is a documented record of donation of a village inscribed on a copper plate in 1020 CE. This was commissioned during the rule of King Suryaditya. It is one of the earliest known documented found written in Sanskrit. Moreover, this early Medieval Indian inscription is one of the oldest copperplate obtained in the northern region of India.
