| | Grantha script was the widely used script to write Sanskrit in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu. | | | Its fall in popularity can also be attributed to a general fall in popularity of the Sanskrit language itself in Tamil Nadu, which a few decades back saw a thriving movement that was opposed to the Sanskrit language and tried to remove all traces of Sanskrit from the Tamil language. | | | However, with the recent popularisation of the Devanagari script, the Grantha script is not widely used. |
