A 16th century CE Sanskrit record of Sadasiva Raya in Nandināgarī script engraved on copper plates.[1] Manuscripts and records in Nandināgarī were created and preserved historically by creating inscriptions on metal plates, specially treated palm leaves, slabs of stone and paper.

Nandināgarī is a Brahmic script derived from the Nāgarī script which appeared in the 7th century AD.[2] This script and its variants were used in the central Deccan region and south India,[2] and an abundance of Sanskrit manuscripts in Nandināgarī have been discovered but remain untransliterated.[3][4] Some of the discovered manuscripts of Madhvacharya of the Dvaita Vedanta school of Hinduism are in Nandināgarī script.[5]

It is a sister script to Devanāgarī, which is common in other parts of India.[6]
