A hero stone (Naṭukal in Tamil, Virakallu in Kannada, Viragallulu in Telugu) is a memorial commemorating the honorable death of a hero in battle. The custom of erecting memorial stones dates back to the Iron Age (400 BC) though a vast majority were erected between the 4th century BC to 13th centuries AD.
