an obelisk
The stone pillar at Vazhappally is believed to have been crafted using traditional techniques prevalent in ancient India. Artisans likely employed tools such as chisels and hammers to carve the stone, carefully shaping it into intricate designs. Additionally, the use of locally sourced materials and skilled craftsmanship contributed to the pillar's durability and aesthetic appeal. The pillar reflects the architectural and artistic heritage of the region.
A tall four-sided pillar that is pointed at the top is called an "obelisk." Obelisks are typically made of stone and have a tapering shape, often used in ancient Egypt as commemorative monuments. They symbolized the sun god Ra and were commonly erected at temple entrances.
