Etymology

The modern name "Hagalavadi" came from "Agalavaadi ", where "Agala " means "wide" and "vaadi " means "village" or "groups of people".

History

The founder of this dynasty was Erimada Nayaka. He was succeeded by Sali Nayaka, who expanded the territory considerably. Inscription Ck 38, dated 1696, relates to these two leaders. Hagalavadi is the headquarters of Palegar lineage. Chikkanayakanahalli was founded by Erimada Nayaka and named after his brother as Chikkanayaka

Hagalavadi dynasty chiefs

"The Hagalavadi chiefs ruled for about 300 years, from 1478 to 1776. Sali Nayaka, who captured Kandikere and Settikere, assisted the Penukonda army, on condition that his conquests be confirmed. When that army was defeated, he escaped to his capital with as much plunder as he could secure. Chiknayakanahalli was founded and named after his brother, and Honnavalli, Turuvekere and Nonavinakere were added to his possessions. On the completion of these enterprises he is said to have taken the name of Sali Nayaka from the idea that his conquests extended in a ‘Salu’ or lineage. His grandson, Mudiyappa Nayaka I, extended their territory. Mudiyappa Nayaka II, who was the ninth in the line, was hailed as a Rajarishi for his benign rule; later he gave up the throne and engaged in spiritual pursuits. His son, Mudduveerappa Nayaka, successfully resisted the onslaughts of Salabat Jung and Dilwar Khan and was called ‘Jung Bahadur’. Channabasappa Nayaka, the twelfth ruler, was imprisoned by Haidar Ali at Srirangapattana. The Nayaka died in prison and the territory was annexed by Ali. According to M. S. Puttanna, Hagalavadi State had once covered more than three – fourths of the present district of Tumkur. Many religious monasteries were built there during the 15th to 17th centuries; including the extant Mudduveeraswamy and Muddiyappa Nayakas. Hagalavadi has the longest history on TCB Road. The chiefs of this dynasty built many forts, temples and monasteries, many extant."
