Bangalore is the nearest Metropolitan Area to Hagalavadi which is located 120 km from Hagalavadi (to the southeast).[2]

Etymology or Word Origin

Hagalavadi has the longest history if we take the history of Tumkur District. The name Hagalavadi came from this history also. Hagalavadi (Agalavadi) Agala means wide(agalavada in Kannada),vadi means "Group" or, "Group of People"(The Nayakas and Palegars in Kannada) living in an area. Today's name Hagalavadi gradually shifted from old using Agalavadi (agalavada samsthana).

History

The founder of this dynasty was Erimada Nayaka succeeded by Sali Nayaka (late 15th century) who largely expanded the territory. Hagalavadi is also headquarter to the palegar lines. The town Chikkanayakanahalli was founded by Erimada Nayaka and named after his brother as Chikkanayaka.

Hagalavadi Dynasty's Chiefs

The Hagalvadi chiefs ruled for about 300 years from 1478 to 1776. The founder of the dynasty, Erimada Nayaka, was succeeded by Sali Nayaka (1508-1544) who largely expanded the territory. Inscription Ck 38 dated 1696 relates to them. Sali Nayaka, who captured Kandikere and Settikere and other places, assisted the Penukonda army with a force, on condition of being confirmed in his conquests and when that army was defeated, escaped to his own capital with such plunder as he could secure. Chiknayakanahalli was founded and named after his brother, and Honnavalli, Turuvekere and Nonavinakere were added to the possessions. It was on the completion of these enterprises that he is said to have taken the name of Sali Nayaka from the idea that his conquests extended in a ‘Salu’ or line. His grandson, Mudiyappa Nayaka I, also considerably extended the territory. Mudiyappa Nayaka II, who was the ninth in the line, had been hailed as a Rajarishi for his benign rule; later, he gave up the throne and engaged himself in spiritual pursuits. His son, Mudduveerappa Nayaka (1740-1753), successfully resisted the onslaughts of Salabat Jung and Dilwar Khan and was called ‘Jung Bahadur’. Channabasappa Nayaka, the twelfth ruler in the line, was imprisoned by Haidar Ali at Srirangapattana. The Nayaka died in prison the territory was annexed by Haidar Ali. According to M. S. Puttanna (‘Hagalavadi Palayagararu’ 1931), theHagalvadi State had once covered more than three – fourths of the present district of Tumkur.So many Religious monasteries originated here during 15th to 17th centuries AD, among them Mudduveeraswamy and Muddiyappa Nayakas are still famous and their name is still in every local people's mouths. Hagalavadi has the longest history on TCB Road and its territory was wider, the chiefs of this dynasty built many forts, temples and many Monasteries, the old monuments are still exist in the town today.

Hagalavadi Town's Condition in the Present

Some people are ultramodern and commercialised and some are still less commercialised . This underdeveloped town we can call it as a developing town now. Mainly careless patronage of worst politicians and people's representatives who are electing continuously make this town ill development deliberately. Primarily the proper Infrastructure, water facilities, and road connectivity (the most wanted now) are still fundamental problems.

Tumkur-Chelur-Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna Road(TCB Road) or Bangalore-Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna Road

Primary Destinations of Bangalore-Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna Road

The TCB Road (also known as the Tumkur–Hagalavadi Main Road or ತುಮಕೂರು-ಹಾಗಲವಾಡಿ ಮುಖ್ಯ ರಸ್ತೆ) is a major district road in Tumakuru, Karnataka, India.

History of the road

The ancient Palegars and Nayakas(Hagalavadi Chiefs) dynasty in Hagalavadi constructed what became the modern-day TCB road for their connection with different Kingdoms. The Palegars and Nayakas(Chiefs) expanded their territory as wide as the region such as Tumakuru, Sira, Chikkanayakanahalli,Turuvekere,Settikere,Nonavinakere and Nittur. They connected to the Chitradurga Nayakas and Mysore Vodeyars and Haider Ali through this mud road.The Road gradually became commercial and modern.The 16-17th century religious renaissance in this area led to the construction of many monasteries in Hagalavadi Town and religious people would travel from faraway locations to meet Hagalavadi Mudduveeraswamy-1 via the TCB road.The Road is now in the list of upgradind MDR to State highway status of Karnataka.The traffic is increasing day by day between Tumkur-Hagalavadi.

Traffic and transportation

Traffic on the TCB road is busy up to Hagalavadi Town. But it is lesser in between Hagalavadi and Bukkapatna Road stretch.Private owners operate plenty of buses on this road up to Hagalavadi. There are also less bus facilities from Hagalavadi Bus Stop to Chikkanayakanahalli and Bukkapatna. The road connects all the people to Bangalore Metropolitan area via the NH 206 and NH 4(India) or Asian Highway 47.[2] There are many ordinary KSRTC buses that are also operating on this route but they are less in numbers, as they are operating now between Tumkur-Hagalavadi only(ತುಮಕೂರು-ಹಾಗಲವಾಡಿ ಮುಖ್ಯ ರಸ್ತೆ).

The popular bus routes are:

The road stretch of Bangalore-Bukkapatna/Hagalavadi Road

The road from the junction of NH 206 in Bhemasandra(Tumkur) to Unaganala village (Hagalavadi Hobli), the road is 16 feet width, but the stretch from Unaganala village to Bukkapatna (the junction of NH234) is 9 feet width.That portion of the Road work is still in balance. The road has many pits and potholes during the rainy season every year(Particularly Hagalavadi-Bukkapatna stretch). The portion of the road from Tumakuru to Hagalavadi is in good condition always. But the stretch from Hagalavadi to Bukkapatna Road is not properly maintained by the Karnataka Public Works Department and people's representatives.

Just over 9 km of the road are paved; the rest is metalled road.[2]

Future plans and proposals to Bangalore to Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna Express Way

The establishment of an expressway between Bangalore to Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna via TCB Road(and also via Shivapura-Yakkalakatte,Hagalavadi Bypass) will increase frequency and reduce travelling hours between primary destinations. Although now many private owners(Private buses) still operating many buses on this route. They failed to satisfy the travellers of Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna. There is a proposal from the local people to Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation will operate express buses between Bangalore and Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna to reduce travelling time. But the current state of the road prevents them from doing so. The Tumakuru KSRTC has complained about the road stretch between Unaganala and Bukkapatna(Incomplete Road Stretch). Tumkur Division KSRTC currently operates ordinary buses up to the Town of Hagalavadi.The Public grievance of this area people is to the launch of expressway corridor between Bangalore-Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna and proposing always Bangalore to Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna Express KSRTC Buses.

The road from:-

The distance between Tumkur to Hagalavadi is 50 km in the present day structure of the Road.But if we consider and travel via Hagalavadi Bypass Road or via Yakkalakatte village,the distance will reduce to 3–4 km between Tumkur-Hagalavadi.The distance will be 45 km from Tumkur to Hagalavadi via Hagalavadi Bypass Road.The only problem with the Road now is the lack of two bridges across Marehalla Stream.One is in near Shivapura Town and another is in near the Yakkalakatte Bus Stop(The Junction of TCB Road).The only reason of the plenty of people travelling between Tumkur to Hagalavadi daily.Travellers fed up with the travelling time with the present day unnecessary deviation towards Kaimara junction.That's why in the future 16 feet Road from Unaganala to Hagalavadi/Bukkapatna should construct viaThe Hagalavadi Bypass Road or Shivapura-Yakkalakatte Road.
