Bandalike

(or Bandanike). — Ruined and deserted village in the Shikarpur taluk of Shimoga District, Mysore, situated about 14 27' N. and 75 18' E., 16 miles from Shikarpur town. It was in the earliest times the capital of the Nagarakhanda ' seventy ' province, which an inscription says was ruled by the wise Chandra Gupta. Its Puranic name was Bandhavapura. It contains many ruined temples of large dimensions and wonderful sculpture. More than thirty inscriptions, dating from the ninth to the sixteenth century, bear records of the Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas, Kalachuris, Hoysalas, Seunas, and Vijayanagar kings. The place was probably destroyed by the Muhammadans after the fall of Vijayanagar in 1565.
