Bāgalkot district (; Kannada: ಬಾಗಲಕೋಟೆ) is an administrative district in the Indian state of Karnataka. The district headquarters is located in the town of Bagalkote. The district is located in northern Karnataka and borders Belgaum, Gadag, Koppal, Raichur and Bijapur. The new Bagalkote district was carved out of Bijapur in 1997 via Government of Karnataka directive ''Notification RD 42 LRD 87 Part III''. The bifurcated Bagalkote district consists of nine taluks — Badami, Bagalkote, Bilagi, Hunagund, Jamakhandi, Mudhol, Ilkal, Guledgudda and Rabkavi-Banahatti.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bagalkot.nic.in/DISTRICT-STATISTICS/sheet5.pdf )〕 Historically, Bagalkote was the capital of the Chalukyan Empire of South India under Pulakeshin I, who conquered the district in 550 CE. Bagalkot's Badami taluk remained the seat of the throne of the Chalukyas from 550 CE — 753 CE, when Chalukya king Kirtivarman II was overthrown by the Rashtrakutas. Remnants of Chalukyan art and architecture are important tourist attractions in Bagalkote. Pattadakallu has many UNESCO World Heritage temples built by Vikramaditya II, while Aihole, which lies on the banks of the Malaprabha River, is an important temple town with over 140 temples belonging to both the early and later Chalukya times. The cave temples of Badami Cave Temples and the Jain temples of Rashtrakutas at Lokapura and Bilgi are also famous. Cottage industries occupy a predominant position in Bagalkote. The district is popular for its silk and handloom industries. Ghataprabha River, Malaprabha River and Krishna River flow through the district. Koodalasangama lies at the point of confluence of rivers Krishna and Malaprabha. Like most districts in India, Bagalkote is headed by a Deputy Commissioner, with various Tahalsidars heading individual taluks in the district. The Samadhi of 12th-century social reformist Basavanna, known for his crusade against caste exploitation, is located in Koodalasangama, a town in the taluk of Hungund. == Origin == Stone inscriptions identify ''Bagadige'' as the ancient name of Bagalkote. According to legend, the area was gifted by the mythological Rāvana, lord of Lanka to his musicians. Other taluks in Bagalkote also have mythological origins. Badami, formerly known as Vatapi, was named after an ''asura'' king who, according to the ''Mahābhārata'', ruled the area along with his brother Ilvala. Legend has it that both ''asuras'' were vanquished by the sage Agasthya. The northwestern taluk of Jamkhandi derives its name from the Chalukya temple dedicated to Jambukeshwara, a form of the Hindu deity Shiva. The town of Aihole, formerly the capital of the ''Chalukyan Empire of Banavasi'' was previously known as ''Ayyavole'' and ''Aryapura'' meaning ''Noble city''. The western taluk of Mudhol was traditionally known as Muduvollal — literally translating into ''lovely town''. The ancient town of Pattadakal was previously known as ''Raktapura'' – ''red town'' and later as Pattadakal Kisuvoval''. The Greek astronomer Ptolemy previously identified many towns in the district of Bagalkote. Pattadakal was referred to as ''Petrigal'', while Badami was known as ''Badiamaioi''. In inscriptions, the old name of the town was quoted as Bagadage under the Chalukyas. Between 1664 to 1755 this territory was under the Savanur Nawab from whom it was annexed by the Peshwa, Balajirao. During 1778, Haider Ali took possession of Bagalkote. Later held by Savnur Nawab. It fell into the hands of Marathas in 1792. In 1800, the provincial manager, Anandarao Bhikaji belonging to the Ratia family residing at Bagalkote built a palace. In 1810, Peshwa Bajirao II gave the area to Nilakantharao Sarsubedar who held Bagalkote Fort supported by a garrison till Gen. Munro occupied it in 1818. The place was a noted centre of freedom movement and also of unification movement. The place is on the banks of the Ghataprabha River. The place has a cement factory and is a centre of trade in cotton and groundnut. 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「Bagalkot district」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
