History
The founder of Haagalavaadi dynasty was Erimada Nayaka. He was succeeded by Sali Nayaka (1508-1544), who expanded the territory considerably. Inscription Ck 38, dated 1696, relates to these two leaders. Hagalavadi is the headquarters of Palegar lineage. Chikkanayakanahalli was founded by Erimada Nayaka and named after his brother as Chikkanayaka (younger brother).
The idol of Anjaneyaswamy was found while removing mud from Hagalawadi lake in Gubbi taluk. Ammanaghatta Srinivas, history researcher of Hampi Kannada University, opined that this idol is an old idol of about two hundred years and may have belonged to the 15th century Hagalavadi Palegara Ramappa Nayaka.
The idol is about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Colored chalk stone is used for the sculpture. The Directorate of Ancient Museum, Mysore has been informed about this. The idol is attractive and the flakes are different.
