Bellary, Karnataka
This is the place where Rama, while searching for Sita, met Sugreeva and Hanuman. Goddess Durugamma is also called Balari and this city takes its name Bellary from that.
The district of Bellary came under the Sultanate of Bijapur in 1565. This territory was conquered by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1685. Bellary was placed under the authority of the Mughal governor of the Deccan called the Nizam. Once the Nizam broke away from the Mughals in 1724, he traded Bellary district with the British, in return for military protection.
