Know More about the Course
Samskritam is an age-old language perceived by great sages through the source of sound. It has been a tradition in India to pass on the traditional knowledge by the means of speech and memory for thousands of years. However over a millennia, many stalwarts have scripted this treasure of knowledge with the use of different scripts. For any language it is very important to have a writing system. Devanagari script is said to be developed by the 4th century and widely used from the 7th century. It was not only used in India but also in the Southeast Asian countries. Many manuscripts related to Hindu, Buddhist and Jain religions are found to be written in this script even today. This is also locally known as Nagari. It holds both alphabets and numbers depicted in very beautiful characters. Scholars say that this lipi has been designed based on the lipi shastra and follows a very systematic approach to learn the same.
