Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Village in the Hosdurga taluk of Chitaldroog District, Mysore, situated in 13° 37' N. and 76° 25 E., 16 miles south-east of Hosdurga town. Population (190 1), 1,118. The fort was built here about the fifteenth century by a chief who was invested with authority by the king of Vijayanagar, After the fall of that power, the Tarikere chiefs seized the place, but it was taken from them by the Sultan of Bijapur, and subsequently formed a district of the province of Sira under the Mughals. The poligdr of Chitaldroog and the Marathas in turn held it, until it was taken by Haidar All in 1761. The Marathas again seized it in 1771, but it was recovered in 1774. In 1790 it was once more in the hands of the Marathas, but was restored at the peace of 1792. It was one of the last places at which the insurgents under the T^aWexo. poligdr created disturbances in 1831.
