Bellary
Bellary is a historic city in Ballari district in Karnataka state, India. It is 306 kilometres from Bangalore,the state capital.
==Etymology==
There are several legends explaining how Ballari got its name. The first is that a few devout travelling merchants halting in Ballari, could not find a Shiva Linga for their worship. They then installed a ''balla'' (a measuring cup or ''seru'' used to measure grain) upside down as a Shiva Linga and worshiped it. Eventually, that place was turned into a temple dedicated to ''Balleshwara'' or Shiva, which became distorted to ''Malleshwara, and thus Ballari derives its name from this temple.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bellarycity.bravehost.com/aboutbell.html )〕
The second legend is that the city is named after Indra, the king of Gods, who slew a Rakshasa (demon) named ''Balla'' who lived nearby. ''Balla-ari'' means 'enemy of Balla' (ari – enemy in Sanskrit). The third legend derives the city's name from the old Kannada word ''Vallari'' and ''Vallapuri''.〔
This temple can still be found in the fort area of the city, and an annual festival and fair dedicated to Shiva is conducted at the temple premises even today. Central government have approved the request to rename the city in October 2014 and Bellary is renamed (along with other 12 cities) to "Ballari" on 1 November 2014.
