India history and geography

Aṅguḷika is the name of a locality corresponding to the modern Iṅgaligi, as mentioned in the “Sankalapura inscription of Krishnaraya ” (1513 A.D.). This slab inscription records that Kṛṣṇarāya of Vijayanagara (A.D. 1510-1529) granted the village of Saṅkalāpura to a temple of Gaṇapati, which was called Kōṭa-Vināyaka. The village Saṅkalāpura was situated on the west of Aṅguḷika. The Hospet Taluk Map indicates that Iṅgaligi (east of Kāriganūru) corresponds to the Aṅguḷika of the inscription.
