Brahmagiri is an archaeological site located in the Chitradurga district of the state of Karnataka, India.[1] Legend has it that this is the site where sage Gautama Maharishi (also spelt Gauthama Maharshi) and his wife Ahalya lived. He was one among seven noted Hindu saints (Saptharshi mandalam). This site was first explored by Benjamin L. Rice in 1891, who discovered rock edicts of Emperor Ashoka here. These rock edicts indicated that the locality was termed as Isila and denoted the southernmost extent of the Mauryan empire.[1][2] The Brahmagiri site is a granite outcrop elevated about 180 m. above the surrounding plains and measures around 500 m east-west and 100 m north-south.[3] It is well known for the large number of megalithic monuments that have been found here.[4] The earliest settlement found here has been dated to at least the 2nd millennium BC.[5]
