This memorial stone was discovered on January 27th 2023 as we drove through Sagasandra village. The hero-stone is situated on Sagasandra-Bhogasandra road, close to the village square which is dominated by a huge Araligida (Peepul tree). It is a standard 3-panel stone, the bottom panel showing the warrior in the fighting scene, middle panel shows the martyred warrior in a chariot accompanied by divine creatures and the topmost panel shows the warrior merging with the Supreme. Like all hero-stones, Sun and Moon are present. I think this signifies that the memories will live as long as Sun & Moon are there.
It's really nice to see the efforts taken towards by the residents of Sagasandra for protecting their ancient artifact.
