Tekkalakote - A town in Siraguppa taluk in Bellary district.


Tekkalakote - A town in Siraguppa taluk in Bellary district.





                  Tekkalakote - A town in Siraguppa taluk in Bellary district. 43 km north of Bellary Far away. The beautiful hillside to the west, the many temples and fortresses of historical richness are fond of. Population 23,578 (2001).

                        It has a history of many centuries. The excavation conducted in Thekkala fort in 1963-64 has provided a great and useful information on the life of the Stone Age people living here. Here, people from Stone Age lived a regular life. They are said to be Mediterranean and Proto - Australians. He was involved in activities such as plagues and animal fostering. He had special skills in doing gold jewelery, pottery etc. 

                 The Tenkalakote is known as a papacallu by an inscription of 1021. The Brahatirajan officer was administered here. After the fall of Vijayanagara, in 1565, Hanumappa, who killed Tekkalakottai, donated Sultan of Bijapur. He built a fort around the Amareshwara temple. 

                           It is known as the Southern Fort. According to a copy of the handwritten hand in Thekkalakot, the descendants of Hanumappa, who died in 1725, left the Tekkalakot to the Muslim ruler of Adoni. Since then Muslim rule began in Thekkalakottam. Adoni's Nawabat Ali is the emperor here. In 1359 Basilatjung captured Adoni. He appointed Hassanullahan as the heir of Tekkalakottai. Similar statements have been found in the legislation found near the shrine of the local Veerabhadra. After 10 years, in 1769, Basalat Jung granted it to Peer Baji Mohideen Saheb. In 1775 he was captured by Bellary - Kurugodu Hyder Ali and then captured Tekkalakottai. From here the fort was built. 

                          There are several famous temples in Tekkalakote. Amareshwar Temple History is famous. In 1511, a statue in this temple is known as Jakkaraya as a symbol of Lord Shiva's devotion to Lord Shiva and Lord Shiva in Vijayanagara. The temple was buried in the soil and was recently dug out.

                           There is a sanctuary in the forest. People believe that Kaduusidda was a famous miracle man. He rained miracles like rainfall, and protecting village animals from wildlife. Another shrine here is Harimallappa. Jatra festivals are held every year. (LRK)

Varavina Malleshwara temple


Varavina Malleshwara temple is about 4 kms east of Tekkalakote, the road passes through paddy fields. The moment we entered the place, it was like seeing a scaled down version of Hampi sans river. The scattered ruins, the architecture and the presence of a Frangipani tree was very much Vijayanagara style. It is said that the place was known as Devara Kallu ~ God's Stone when it was built. It was around 9AM, we were the only visitors. As you see the temple is situated on the hillock.

The hall on the left is the Kalyana Mantapa and the on the right is the main Gopura. Notice the pillar design, its quite different from the ones I've had seen earlier.

A pleasant surprise; a goshaala with half dozen calves. I love the look on their faces.

Gopura is brick and mortar.

The doorway is flanked by various sculptures. Just outside the doorway is a image could be a scene from Ramayana; Rama aiming an arrow at the golden deer while living in exile.

The presence of Damaru, Trisula and Nandi indicates lord Shiva here.

As we step in it felt as though we had entered from the back door. On our left was the care-taker's house. I wonder why those three tigers are painted... had Tipu donated money to this temple's maintenance.

On the left, after the tower is a long hall for pilgrims to camp. On the right is the temple.

Doorway to Sabha Mantapa. Well, I wish to meet the guys who painted..

Garbhagudi at the end of this aisle and to the right is Nandi (see inset).


A collection of hero-stones.
side entrance
This temple doesn't seem to have any kind of order, little confusing. Main Gopura is on the eastern wall but the Garbhagudi faces west and what seems like a south-facing side entrance must be the main entrance.


A mural resembling a human rib cage.. very strange piece of work indeed.
We could see half dozen small temples like these close to the base of the hills, on the plains. The larger structure on the right is a modern structure, a shed to park the temple chariot.


This shelter could serve as lodge for pilgrims or shops.
A short video by Malatesh.



I don't remember seeing any signage here, not much of information available. Having done with this holy place we head towards Udegola and Nittur to see Ashoka's rock edicts.

Tekkalakote neolithik period

Tekkalkota:

At Tekkalkota (Karnataka) 19 remains of small circular huts with 3 meter to 5 meter diameter were recorded. These ranged from 1780 BC to 1540 BC in date. Small and big wooden posts were erected in some cases while in others no such post-holes are seen.
Natural boulders and rocks scattered on the surface have been taken advantage of to hold the structure Burials are found under the floor of the house. Sometimes bodies have been interned within urns.
The granitic boulders near the site show some art execution by pecking and brushings, and also at times painting with red ocher. A bull, deer, gazelle or stylized human figures are some of the usual depictions recorded at many of these Andhra and Karnataka sites.
That these art works are of Neolithic period is supported by a gray ware ceramic lid found from Tekkalkota excavation. A bull, a cobra and two antelopes are executed in this lid by puncturing the clay when it was leather-hard.
Animal bones recovered indicate domesticated cattle, mainly buffalo, goat, sheep and dog. Experts have even opined that, anchylosis of the hook joints noted in eh cattle bones might indicate their use as draft animals.
