It was towards the end of the 9th century that the Bangalore area came into importance.

The most significant sign of this was the Nageswara Temple in Begur that was constructed during the reign of the ruling Ganga king Nitimarga and his local feudatory chieftain, Nagattara.

Inscriptions discovered in and around Begur, reveal fascinating details about the history of the region.

Join Ramjee Chandran as he continues with the history of the Gangas and the battles they fought to save their territory. This episode captures a troublesome time in the Deccan. And sets up to move into the pivotal 10th century, when a new cast of characters took over.
