Davangere
Davangere (Kannada:ದಾವಣಗೆರೆ), also spelled Davanagere, is a city in the Indian state of Karnataka, lying at the center part of South India. Positioned at the geographical centre of the state of Karnataka, it is the administrative headquarters of eponymous Davangere District. Hitherto being a cotton hub and hence popularly known before as ''Manchester of Karnataka'', the commercial ventures of the city is now dominated by education and agro-processing industries. Davangere lies along on the National Highway 4, a part of the Golden Quadrilateral, at a distance of about from the state capital, Bangalore. Davangere became a separate district in 1997, when it was separated from the erstwhile undivided district of Chitradurga for administration conveniences. Davangere is known for rich culinary traditions which encompass the diversity of entire Karnataka's dishes due to its geographical position in the state as its epicenter. Notable among them is its aromatic benne dose that is associated with the name of the city. Home to a population of about half a million, it is the sixth-largest city in the state of Karnataka.〔(Davangere City Statistics )〕
==Etymology==
It is believed that the Chalukyas were used to halt at this place to rest after a long horse-ride. A lake ("''kere''" in Kannada language) was excavated for them to quench their thirst. The place thus came to be known as "Devan giri" (an abbreviation of 'danivina kere' for ''lake for the exhausted and the thirsty'') and eventually "Davangere". However no lake exists as of today, and no concrete historical and literary evidences exist to prove this theory apart from unconfirmed verbal folklores.
Another popular theory that revolves around, is the name of the city being derived from its previous name of ''Devanagari'', meaning ''the city of divines''.
