Bangalore (; Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು, ) is the capital and IT city of the Indian state of Karnataka. Bangalore, or Bengaluru, as it is known today, was founded by Kempe Gowda, who built a mud fort at the site in 1537. It has developed over the years into an industrial and technological hub in India. A website of the heritage of the city, including the built, natural and cultural history of the city and the region is at www.bangaloreheritage.in. == Gangas, Cholas and Hoysalas == The Gangas ruled Gangavadi from Kolar starting c. 350 and later shifted their capital to Talakadu.Their rule often extended over large parts of Tamil Nadu.〔("History of Bangalore" ).〕 An article, published in ''The Hindu'', states:〔("Inscription reveals Bengaluru is over 1,000 years old" ). The Hindu. 2006. The Hindu Group. 20 Aug. 2004〕 :''An inscription, dating back to 890 AD, shows Bengaluru is over 1,000 years old. But it stands neglected at the Parvathi Nageshwara Temple in Begur near the city ... written in ''hale Kannada'' (old Kannada) of the 9th Century, the epigraph refers to a ''Bengaluru war'' in 890 AD in which Buttanachetty, a servant of Nagatta, died. Though this has been recorded by historian R. Narasimhachar in his "Epigraphia of Carnatica" (Vol. 10 supplementary), no efforts have been made to preserve it.'' The inscription stone found near Begur reveals, that the district was part of the Ganga kingdom ruled from Gangavadi until 1024 C.E and was known as 'Benga-val-oru', the ''City of Guards'' in old Kannada. Edgar Thurston (Castes and Tribes of India Volume 5) states that the Kongu region was ruled by a series of twenty eight kings before being conquered by the Cholas of Tanjore, citing the earliest portion of the Kongu Chronicle - ''Kongu Desa Rajakkal'' (a manuscript in ''The Mackenzie Collection'') which gives a series of short notices of the reigns of all the kings who ruled the country from the start of the Christian era till its conquest by the Cholas. These kings belonged to two distinct dynasties: the earlier line of the ''Solar race'' which had a succession of seven kings of the Ratti tribe, and the later line of the Ganga race, itself claimed to be a branch of the Solar race. In the year 1120 AD, the Hoysala King, Veera Ballala ruled the Deccan plateau or the South of India. On a hunting trip in the forest he lost his way. After a long search he met an old lady in the forest who offered him shelter for the night and served him some boiled beans for dinner. To show his gratitude to this lady for having saved his life, the King constructed a town and named it as Benda Kalooru which means town of boiled beans. Later in 1537, a local chieftain, Kempe Gowda helped design this town and give it its modern shape. In 1024 C.E, the Chola Empire captured the city. Today, little evidence can be seen of this period. A small village in south Bengaluru and one in Anantapur district bear the Chola name but the residents are of native stock. The later Gangas often fought alongside the Chalukyas, Rastrakutas and the Hoysalas. In 1117 C.E, the Hoysala king Veera Ballala II defeated the Cholas in the battle of Talakad which lead to the downfall of the Chola empire. A popular anecdote recounts that the 11th-century Hoysala king Veera Ballala II, while on a hunting expedition, lost his way in the forest. Tired and hungry, he came across a poor old woman who served him boiled lady's finger. The grateful king named the place "benda kaal-ooru" ((カンナダ語:ಬೆಂದ ಕಾಳು ಊರು)) (literally, "town of boiled beans"), which was eventually colloquialised to "Bengalūru".〔http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/Oct302006/index20581420061029.asp〕 There are also theories that the name has a floral origin and is derived from the tree Benga or "Ven-kai", also known as the Indian Kino Tree (Pterocarpus marsupium).〔("History of Bangalore" ). Bangalore Guide 2006. Bangalore Guide〕 The city as it is known today was named by Kempe Gowda I. There is an inscription dated 1628 C.E in the Ranganatha Temple in Telugu. The English translation of which is "Be it well, When Rajadhi-Raja-Parameshwara Vira Pratapa Vira-Maha-Deva Maharaya seated in the Jewel throne was ruling the empire of the world: When of the Asannavakula, the Yelahanka Nadu Prabhu Kempanacharya-Gauni's grandson Kempe Gowda's son, Immadi Kempegaunayya was ruling a peaceful kingdom in righteousness with the decline of the Vijayanagar empire, the eclipse of the rule of Yelahanka Nadu Prabhus took place at the dawn of the 17th century." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of Bangalore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
