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.

Kalale

Village in the Nanjangud taluk of Mysore District, Mysore, situated in 12 degree 4' N. and 76 degree 40' E., 3 miles south-west of Nanjangud. Population (1901), 2,500. The place is historically interesting as the ancestral domain of the Dalavayis of Mysore. It is said to have been founded in 1504 by a connexion of the Vijayanagar family. After the Mysore Rajas acquired Seringapatam in 16 10, they formed an alliance with the Kalale family, by which the latter furnished the Dalavayi, or hereditary minister and general of the State, while Mysore furnished the Kartar (' Curtur ' in old English documents) or ruler. Latterly the Dalavayis rendered the Rajas subservient to their interests, but were in their turn displaced by Haidar All. The municipality formed in 1899 was converted into a Union in 1904. The receipts and expenditure during the two years ending 1901 averaged Rs. 1,990 and Rs. 650. In 1903-4 they were Rs. 870 and Rs. 2,800.
