What is Grantha?
“Grantha” is a script that is used to render Sanskrit primarily in Southern India since at least the 5th century CE, and has been used for that purpose till well into the 20th century. The Śrīvaiṣṇavas used a combination of Grantha + Tamil to write in Manipravala. Do watch this video for more information:
