Sanjeli inscriptions


The Sanjeli inscriptions consist in three copperplate charters found in Sanjeli in northern Gujarat. The copperplates mention the rule of Alchon Huns king Toramana in the area.
The first copperplate refers to the 3rd year of the reign of Toramana, and describes pious gifts made by merchants in the area of Vadrapali in the district of Sivabhagapura.
The copperplates also describes how the local king Maharaja Bhuta in Sanjeli was made Governor of the district of Sivabhagapura by the grace of Toramana.
The Sanjeli inscriptions indicate that Toramana penetrated at least as far as northern Gujarat, and possibly to the trading port of Bharukaccha.
