4. ABOUT KALABURAGI AND KALYANA KARNATAKA REGION

Central University of Karnataka is situated in the Kalaburagi district in Kalyana Karnataka Region. The region
has the ancestral history of 1.2 million years, Isampur being the earliest stone tool making industry during
the Palaeolithic period (Stone Age). There has been a consistent occupation (during Palaeolithic, Mesolithic,
Neolithic and Iron Age) of the region across the rivers of Bhima, Krishna and Tungabhadra for hunter-gath-
erers and pastoralists & early agricultural communities until recently 2000 years ago. Maski, Watgal, Budihal,
Sangankallu-Kupgal, Piklihal, Hirebenekal etc., are few archaeologically well-studied sites. We find an excit-
ing concentration of Ashoka rock edict sites, such as Sannati, Maski, Gavimath, Udegolam, Nittur and Brah-
magiri, indicating the Mauryas in South India and the spread of ‘Dhamma’ during the 3rd century BCE. Rem-
iniscence of Stupas in Sannati and Kanaganahalli on the bank of river Bhima, suggests the region flourished
as prominent Buddhist centres contemporary to Amaravati and Nagarjunakonda that were Buddhist School
of Art in their own sense. This has made the Kalyana Karnataka Region a significant centre of cultural and
heritage research for 200 years and has attracted eminent foreign scientists from across Eurasia and America.

The formation of rolling plains of black cotton soil (alluvium) for cotton and toor dal (Pigeon Pea/ Cajanus
cajan) cultivation, quartz reefs for gold mining and chalcopyrite for copper, manganese for Iron has made
chief economic resources of the region. Major political kingdoms of South India, such as Chalukays, Rash-
trakuta, Vijayanagara and Bahmani, made their capital in this region. This made a composition of vibrant
multilingual and multicultural society throughout the historical period. One can spot recurrent occurrences
of forts and hillforts across the region, apart from the fortified capital cities. The region has given birth to ac-
claimed academicians, literary personalities, religious leaders and philosophers. It houses several philosoph-
ical and educational centres, epistemological works, social movements, great dynasties, incredible folk tradi-
tions in verbal and non-verbal art forms and industries. The history of this region is enriched in the literature.
Many Vachanakaras, Kirtanakaras and Tatvapadakaras hail from this region. Works like Allama’s vachanas

started an epistemological tradition in the region. There are also many religious and philosophical cen- buses from Kalaburagi to various parts of the state of Karnataka and vice versa. Privately owned buses
tres like Sannati, Kanaganahalli, Koppala, Manyakheta (Capital of Rashtrakuta kingdom), Kalyana (Cap- like VRL Travels, SRS Travels, Pooja Travels etc. also run many buses interconnecting these cities via
ital of Chalukya kingdom), Bidar, Savalagi, Tintini, Mudgal in the region. Great folk literature, both in Kalaburagi.
verbal and non-verbal ways, are part of regional heritage. The ancient sculptures at Hampi, Shiravala,
Evuru, Kalagi, Bidar, Kalyana, Kalaburagi, Itagi etc are worth mentioning. NagaviGhatika in Chittapur
taluk of Kalaburagi district was the most sought after the center of higher learning, attracting students
and scholars from different corners of India/abroad into the medieval period. MahaVeeracharya (815
A.D.-878 A.D.), an ancient mathematician in the court of Rashtrakuta emperor Amoghavarsha who
wrote GanitasaraSangraha and Sri Jayateertha (1365 A.D. -1388 A.D.), a Vedantic scholar also known
by the epithet Tikacharya, belonged to Malkhed on the bank of river Kagina of the region. Veeracharya’s
marvellous mathematical treatise `Ganitasara Sangraha’ in Sanskrit verse is a landmark work found
relevant even today in several aspects of mathematics. `Kavirajamarga’, the first extant Kannada literary
work, was produced by Srivijaya around 850 AD during the period of Amoghavarsha alias Nrupatunga
of the Rashtrakutas. The book about the theory of literature, particularly poetry, has played a vital role
in according classical language status to Kannada. Vijnaneshwara, a celebrated jurisprudentia list, in the
court of Vikramaditya- VI, the Kalyani Chalukya emperor, wrote the magnum opus `Mitakshara’, com-
mentary to the Yajnavlkya Smriti, in the 11th century. Hailing from Martur near Kalaburagi, Vijnanesh-
wara’s Mitakshara became the cornerstone of the Indian legal system. It remained the sole justice system
throughout India except for Bengal and Assam from the 12th century till India attained independence.

Khwaja Banda Nawaj (1321-1422), a Sufi saint, settled in Gulbarga on the invitation of Bahman king
Feroz Shah, was a pioneer in Urdu literature with his work `Me Rajul Ashikhain’. His Dargah at Ka-
laburagi has become an important pilgrim centre for Hindu-Muslims all over India and even abroad.
Kalaburagi is one of the three districts transferred from Hyderabad State to Karnataka state at the time of re-
organization of the states in 1956. Now among the 31 districts of Karnataka,it is located in the North-Eastern From Kalaguragi Airport to Central University of Karnataka
