The '''Cricket World Cup''', officially known as '''ICC Men's Cricket World Cup''',<ref>{{cite web |title=ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 shatters audience records|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/1277987 |publisher=[[International Cricket Council|ICC]] |access-date=12 April 2021 }}</ref> is the [[World cup competition|international championship]] of [[One Day International]] (ODI) [[cricket]]. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC), every four years, with preliminary qualification rounds leading up to a finals tournament. The tournament is one of the [[List of most-watched television broadcasts#List|world's most viewed sporting events]] and is considered the "flagship event of the international cricket calendar" by the ICC.<ref>[http://www.cricketworldcup.com/about ICC Cricket World Cup: About] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130601200603/http://www.cricketworldcup.com/about |date=1 June 2013 }} – International Cricket Council. Retrieved 30 June 2013.</ref>

The [[1975 Cricket World Cup|first World Cup]] was organised in England in June 1975, with the first ODI cricket match having been played only four years earlier. However, a separate [[Women's Cricket World Cup]] had been held two years before the first men's tournament, and a tournament involving multiple international teams had been held as early as 1912, when a [[1912 Triangular Tournament|triangular tournament]] of [[Test cricket|Test matches]] was played between [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]], [[England national cricket team|England]] and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]]. The first three World Cups were held in England. From the [[1987 Cricket World Cup|1987 tournament]] onwards, hosting has been shared between countries under an [[Cricket World Cup hosts#Unofficial rotation system|unofficial rotation system]], with fourteen ICC members having hosted at least one match in the tournament.

The current format involves a [[2023 Cricket World Cup Qualification|qualification phase]], which takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. In the tournament phase, 10 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation, compete for the title at venues within the host nation over about a month. In the 2027 edition, the format will be changed to accommodate an expanded 14-team final competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27384084/how-teams-secure-qualification-rank-no-1-32 |title=The road to World Cup 2023: how teams can secure qualification, from rank No. 1 to 32 |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=14 August 2019}}</ref>

A total of [[#Overview|twenty teams]] have competed in the twelve editions of the tournament, with ten teams competing in the [[2019 Cricket World Cup|recent 2019 tournament]]. Australia has won the tournament five times, [[India national cricket team|India]] and [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] twice each, while [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]], [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] and England have won it once each. The best performance by a non-full-member team came when [[Kenya national cricket team|Kenya]] made the semi-finals of the [[2003 Cricket World Cup|2003 tournament]].

England are the current champions after winning the 2019 World Cup edition. The [[2023 Cricket World Cup|2023 World Cup]] in India is ongoing, and the subsequent [[2027 Cricket World Cup|2027 World Cup]] will be held jointly in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

[[File:Cricket World Cup Trophies.jpg|thumb|From left to right: All the official trophies of Cricket World Cup from 1975–Present]]
The [[Canadian cricket team in the United States in 1844|first international cricket match]] was played between Canada and the United States, on 24 and 25 September 1844.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/141170.html |title=The oldest international contest of them all |author=Martin Williamson |publisher=ESPN |access-date=5 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130605032043/http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/141170.html |archive-date=5 June 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> However, the first credited [[Test cricket|Test match]] was played in 1877 between [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] and [[England cricket team|England]], and the two teams competed regularly for [[The Ashes]] in subsequent years. [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] was admitted to Test status in 1889.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/australia/content/match/62396.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=15 March 1877|title=1st Test Scorecard|access-date=28 January 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212191405/http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/australia/content/match/62396.html|archive-date=12 February 2009|url-status=live}}</ref> Representative cricket teams were selected to [[International structure of cricket|tour]] each other, resulting in bilateral competition. Cricket was also included as an Olympic sport at the [[1900 Summer Olympics|1900 Paris Games]], where [[Great Britain and Ireland at the 1900 Summer Olympics|Great Britain]] defeated [[France at the 1900 Summer Olympics|France]] to win the [[Gold medal#Olympic Games|gold medal]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/columns/engine/match/320838.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=19 August 1900|title=Olympic Games, 1900, Final|access-date=9 September 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141226014434/http://www.espncricinfo.com/columns/engine/match/320838.html|archive-date=26 December 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> This was the only appearance of cricket at the [[Summer Olympic Games|Summer Olympics]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Purohit|first=Abhishek|title=Will Cricket Bat Again at the Olympics?

The first multilateral competition at international level was the [[1912 Triangular Tournament]], a Test cricket tournament played in England between all three Test-playing nations at the time: England, Australia and South Africa. The event was not a success: the summer was exceptionally wet, making play difficult on damp uncovered pitches, and crowd attendances were poor, attributed to a "surfeit of cricket".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/207248.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|title=The original damp squib|date=23 April 2005|access-date=29 August 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071016161938/http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/207248.html |archive-date=16 October 2007}}</ref> Since then, international Test cricket has generally been organised as bilateral series: a multilateral Test tournament was not organised again until the triangular [[Asian Test Championship]] in 1999.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/483619.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|title=The run-out that sparked a riot|date=30 October 2010|access-date=18 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141022194822/http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/483619.html |archive-date=22 October 2014}}</ref>

The number of nations playing Test cricket increased gradually over time, with the addition of [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] in 1928,<ref>{{Cite web |title=England vs West Indies Scorecard 1928 {{!}} Cricket Scorecard |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-indies-tour-of-england-1928-61871/england-vs-west-indies-1st-test-62559/full-scorecard |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref> [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] in 1930,<ref>{{Cite web |title=New Zealand vs England Scorecard 1929/30 {{!}} Cricket Scorecard |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-new-zealand-1929-30-61781/new-zealand-vs-england-1st-test-62572/full-scorecard |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref> [[India national cricket team|India]] in 1932,<ref>{{Cite web |title=England vs India Scorecard 1932 {{!}} Cricket Scorecard |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/india-tour-of-england-1932-62281/england-vs-india-only-test-62605/full-scorecard |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref> and [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in 1952.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pakistan vs India Scorecard 1952/53 {{!}} Cricket Scorecard |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/pakistan-tour-of-india-1952-53-61529/india-vs-pakistan-4th-test-62744/full-scorecard |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref> However, international cricket continued to be played as bilateral Test matches over three, four or five days.

In the early 1960s, English [[county cricket]] teams began playing a shortened version of cricket which only lasted for one day. Starting in [[1962 English cricket season|1962]] with a four-team [[single-elimination tournament|knockout competition]] known as the Midlands Knock-Out Cup,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/510124.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|title=The low-key birth of one-day cricket|date=9 April 2011|access-date=15 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130919032251/http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/510124.html |archive-date=19 September 2013}}</ref> and continuing with the inaugural [[Friends Provident Trophy|Gillette Cup]] in [[1963 English cricket season|1963]], [[Limited overs cricket|one-day cricket]] grew in popularity in England. A national [[National League (cricket)|Sunday League]] was formed in [[1969 English cricket season|1969]]. The first One-Day International match was played on the fifth day of a rain-aborted Test match between England and Australia at Melbourne in [[English cricket team in Australia in 1970–71|1971]], to fill the time available and as compensation for the frustrated crowd. It was a forty [[over (cricket)|over]] game with eight balls per over.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newicc.cricket.org/icc/odi/what_is_one-day_cricket.html |publisher=newicc.cricket.org |title=What is One-Day International cricket? |access-date=10 September 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061119054342/http://newicc.cricket.org/icc/odi/what_is_one-day_cricket.html |archive-date=19 November 2006 }}</ref> The success and popularity of the domestic one-day competitions in England and other parts of the world, as well as the early One-Day Internationals, prompted the ICC to consider organizing a Cricket World Cup.<ref name="WCHistory">{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/wc2007/content/story/264535.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|title=The World Cup – A brief history|access-date=7 December 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080328095116/http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/wc2007/content/story/264535.html|archive-date=28 March 2008|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Format==

===Qualification===
{{main|Cricket World Cup qualification}}
From the first World Cup in 1975 up to the 2019 World Cup, the majority of teams taking part qualified automatically. Until the 2015 World Cup this was mostly through having [[List of International Cricket Council members#Full Members|Full Membership of the ICC]], and for the 2019 World Cup this was mostly through ranking position in the [[ICC ODI Championship]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Cricket World Cup 2019 to stay at only 10 teams|publisher=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/33296828|access-date=22 August 2022}}</ref>

Since the second World Cup in 1979 up to the 2019 World Cup, the teams that qualified automatically were joined by a small number of others who qualified for the World Cup through the qualification process. The first qualifying tournament being the [[ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier|ICC Trophy]];<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT2005/ARTICLES/history.html|title=Cricinfo - 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland|website=static.espncricinfo.com|accessdate=6 April 2023}}</ref> later the process expanding with pre-qualifying tournaments. For the 2011 World Cup, the [[ICC World Cricket League]] replaced the past pre-qualifying processes; and the name "ICC Trophy" was changed to "[[ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc/development/wcl/ |publisher=ICC |title=World Cricket League |access-date=28 January 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070119011351/http://www.icc-cricket.com/icc/development/wcl/ |archive-date=19 January 2007 }}</ref> The World Cricket League was the qualification system provided to allow the [[ICC associate membership|Associate]] and [[List of International Cricket Council members#Affiliate Members|Affiliate]] members of the ICC more opportunities to qualify.

From the [[2023 Cricket World Cup|2023 World Cup]] onwards, only the host nation(s) will qualify automatically. All countries will participate in a series of leagues to determine qualification, with automatic [[promotion and relegation]] between divisions from one World Cup cycle to the next.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27384084/how-teams-secure-qualification-rank-no-1-32 |title=The road to World Cup 2023: how teams can secure qualification, from rank No. 1 to 32 |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=22 August 2022}}</ref>

[[File:ICC CWC 2007 team captains.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|The captains of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.]]
The format of the Cricket World Cup has changed greatly over the course of its history. Each of the first four tournaments was played by eight teams, divided into two groups of four.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icc.cricket.org/icc/events/summaries/icc_world_cup_1975.html|publisher=[[icc.cricket.org]]|title=1st tournament|access-date=19 February 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217093647/http://icc.cricket.org/icc/events/summaries/icc_world_cup_1975.html |archive-date=17 December 2007}}</ref> The competition consisted of two stages, a group stage and a [[single-elimination tournament|knock-out]] stage. The four teams in each group played each other in the [[round-robin tournament|round-robin]] group stage, with the top two teams in each group progressing to the semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals played against each other in the final. With South Africa returning in the fifth tournament in 1992 as a result of the end of the apartheid boycott, nine teams played each other once in the group phase, and the top four teams progressed to the semi-finals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icc.cricket.org/icc/events/summaries/icc_world_cup_199192.html|publisher=[[icc.cricket.org]]|title=92 tournament|access-date=19 February 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217093653/http://icc.cricket.org/icc/events/summaries/icc_world_cup_199192.html |archive-date=17 December 2007}}</ref> The tournament was further expanded in 1996, with two groups of six teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icc.cricket.org/icc/events/summaries/icc_world_cup_199596.html|publisher=[[icc.cricket.org]]|title=96 tournament|access-date=19 February 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217093658/http://icc.cricket.org/icc/events/summaries/icc_world_cup_199596.html |archive-date=17 December 2007}}</ref> The top four teams from each group progressed to quarter-finals and semi-finals.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wills World Cup, 1996 schedule, live scores and results |url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/653/wills-world-cup-1996 |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=Cricbuzz |language=en}}</ref>

A distinct format was used for the [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999]] and [[2003 Cricket World Cup|2003]] World Cups.

[[File:Icc cricket world cup trophy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|The [[Cricket World Cup Trophy]] ]]

The ICC [[Cricket World Cup Trophy]] is presented to the winners of the World Cup. The current trophy was created for the 1999 championships, and was the first permanent prize in the tournament's history. Prior to this, different trophies were made for each World Cup.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricket-worldcup2015.net/2015/02/trophy-is-first-permanent-prize-in-cricket-world-cup.html|publisher=cricket-worldcup2015.net|title=Trophy is first permanent prize in Cricket World Cup|access-date=9 November 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150203150018/http://www.cricket-worldcup2015.net/2015/02/trophy-is-first-permanent-prize-in-cricket-world-cup.html|archive-date=3 February 2015}}</ref>{{Clarify|reason=is this right? were there different Prudential Cups, or was the same Cup used three times?|date=March 2023}} The trophy was designed and produced in London by a team of craftsmen from [[Garrard & Co]] over a period of two months.<ref name=guardian_2015 /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Trophies {{!}} Famous Trophies |url=https://garrard.com/en/trophies/famous-trophies/ |access-date=2022-08-01 |website=Garrard |language=en-GB}}</ref>

The current trophy is made from silver and [[gilding|gilt]], and features a golden globe held up by three silver columns. The columns, shaped as [[stump (cricket)|stumps]] and [[bail (cricket)|bails]], represent the three fundamental aspects of cricket: [[batting (cricket)|batting]], [[bowling (cricket)|bowling]] and [[fielding (cricket)|fielding]], while the globe characterises a [[cricket ball]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.webindia123.com/Sports/cricket/iccworldcup/history.htm|publisher=webindia123.com|title=Cricket World Cup- Past Glimpses|access-date=31 October 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080323235801/http://www.webindia123.com/Sports/cricket/iccworldcup/history.htm|archive-date=23 March 2008|url-status=live}}</ref> The seam is tilted to symbolize the [[axial tilt]] of the Earth.

===Mascots===
[[Mascots]] were introduced to the Cricket World Cup in the [[1992 Cricket World Cup|1992]] edition, bringing an innovative spirit to the tournament. There have since been different mascots for each World Cup.

After the [[2011 Cricket World Cup]], mascots were temporarily discontinued, and no mascots were announced in the 2015 and 2019 editions. However, the mascots were reintroduced ahead of the [[2023 Cricket World Cup|2023]] World Cup.

In November 2021, ICC published the name of the hosts for ICC events to be played between 2024 and 2031 cycle.

They were an important ruling dynasty in [[History of Karnataka|post-medieval Karnataka]]. They initially ruled as a vassal of the famous [[Vijayanagar Empire]]. After the fall of the empire in 1565, they gained independence and ruled significant parts of [[Malnad]] region of the [[Western Ghats]] in present-day Karnataka, most areas in the [[Kanara|coastal regions of Karnataka]], and parts of northern [[Kerala]], [[Malabar region|Malabar]] and the central plains along the [[Tungabhadra river|Tungabhadra]] river.

Chaudappa Nayaka, originally ''Chauda Gowda'', (1499–1530), was from a village called ''Pallibailu'' near [[Keladi (India)|Keladi]].

The coastal provinces of Karnataka came under his direct rule. He moved the capital to [[Ikkeri]] some 20 km. from [[Keladi]].

Sankanna Nayaka (1566–1570), succeeded Sadashiva Nayaka.

Chikka Sankanna Nayaka (1570–1580) was an opportunistic ruler who took advantage of the confusion in the Vijayanagar Empire following its defeat at Tallikota and grabbed a few provinces in Uttara Kannada district.

Rama Raja Nayaka (1580–1586)

Hiriya Venkatappa Nayaka (1586–1629) is considered by scholars as ablest monarch of the clan. He completely freed himself from the overlordship of the relocated Vijayanagar rulers of Penugonda. Italian traveller [[Pietro Della Valle]], who visited his kingdom in 1623, called him an able soldier and administrator. In his reign the kingdom expanded so that it covered coastal regions, [[Malnad]] regions, and some regions to the east of the [[western Ghats]] of present-day Karnataka. He is also known to have defeated the Adilshahis of [[Bijapur Sultanate|Bijapur]] in Hanagal. Though a [[Virashaiva]] by faith, he built many temples for [[Vaishnavas]] and Jains and a mosque for Muslims.

Virabhadra Nayaka (1629–1645) faced many troubles from the start, including competition from rival Jain chieftains of Malenad for the throne of Ikkeri and invasion by the Sultanate armies of Bijapur. Ikkeri was plundered by the Bijapur army during his time.

[[Shivappa Nayaka]] (1645–1660) is widely considered as the ablest and greatest of the Keladi rulers. He was the uncle of Virabhadra Nayaka. Shivappa deposed his nephew to gain the throne of Keladi. He was not only an able administrator; he also patronised literature and fine arts. His successful campaigns against the Bijapur sultans, the Mysore kings, the Portuguese, and other Nayakas of the neighbouring territories east of the [[western ghats]] helped expand the kingdom to its greatest extent, covering large areas of present-day Karnataka. He gave importance to agriculture and developed new schemes for collection of taxes and revenues which earned him much praise from later British officials. A statue of him and the palace built by him containing many artifacts of his times are reminders of the respect he has earned even from the present generation of people of the region. He destroyed the Portuguese political power in the [[Kanara]] region by capturing all the Portuguese forts of the coastal region.<ref>Portuguese Studies Review (ISSN 1057-1515) (Baywolf Press) p.35</ref>

Chikka Venkatappa Nayaka (1660–1662), ruled for a short span of time after Shivappa Nayaka.

Bhadrappa Nayaka (1662–1664), succeeded Chikka Venkatappa Nayaka. During his reign the rule of Vokkaligas came to an end and was replaced by the rule of Banajigas.<ref>{{cite book |title=The quarterly journal of the Mythic society Vol.XI|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.277202/page/n55/mode/2up |location=Bangalore|publisher=The Mythic Society, Daly Memorial Hall|page=47-48}}:”Venkatappa. ruled from 1504 to 1551.

Somashekara Nayaka I (1664–1672) The King who was once a good administrator, gave up his interest in administration after his association with a dancer named Kalavati. Bharame Mavuta, a relative of Kalavati slow poisoned the king which eventually led to his death.

[[Keladi Chennamma]] (1672–1697) She was an able ruler who some scholars claim was allied with the Maratha [[Shivaji]] and later his son Sambhaji to defeat all rival claimants to the throne. She gave shelter to Chhatrapathi Rajaram when he fled from the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] army. Chennamma of Keladi is well remembered by local people through tales of her bravery.

Basavappa Nayaka (1697–1714) He was a brave ruler and was adopted by Rani Chennammaji from their relative

Kiriya Basavappa Nayaka (1739–1754)

Chenna Basappa Nayaka (1754–1757)

Queen Virammaji (1757–1763) was defeated by Hyder Ali who merged the Keladi kingdom with the [[Kingdom of Mysore]]. The queen was captured by Hyder Ali and was kept in confinement along with her son in the fort of Madugiri.<ref name="ReferenceA">Advanced Study in the History of Modern India 1707-1813 by Jaswant Lal Mehta p.458</ref> They were however rescued in 1767 when [[Madhavrao I]] of the [[Maratha Empire]] defeated Hyder Ali in the battle of Madugiri. Later, they were sent to Pune the capital of the Maratha Empire for protection.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

==Decline and end==
For more than two hundred years the kingdom controlled the coastal and malnad regions of present-day Karnataka and fostered a rich tradition of trade with the English, the Portuguese, and the Dutch.<ref>{{cite book |last=Shastry |first=Bhagamandala Seetharama |author-link= |title=Goa-Kanara Portuguese Relations, 1498-1763|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=raLL0A3Pb_0C&q=Nayaka&pg=PP11 |location=New Delhi|publisher=Concept Publishing Company|page=112, 145-147, 180-204|isbn=8170228484}}</ref> However, in the period of gloom brought about by the fall of the great Hindu empire, the Vijayanagar empire, constant wars—campaigns against local chieftains and the [[Mysore Kingdom]] and the harassment of the [[Marathas]] finally drained the treasury and resulted in the end of the kingdom.

The Keladi Nayakas built some fine temples in Ikkeri and Keladi using a combination of late [[Kadamba Dynasty|Kadamba]], [[Hoysala]], [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagar]], and [[Dravidian architecture|Dravida]] styles. The use of granite for their construction shows they simply followed the Vijayanagar model of architecture. The Aghoreshwara temple at Ikkeri and the Rameshwara temple at Keladi are the best examples of the Nayakas' art. Vijayanagar-style pillars with hippogryphs are common; called ''yali'' columns (depiction of horses and lions as seen in [[Hampi]]) is found here. These are pillars with lions, either with their forepaws raised or simply in a sitting position, and pillars with a mythical horse-like animal with front legs raised, balancing on its rear legs, and with an armed rider on its back which are worth seeing at Ikkeri. A roof sculpture depicting a [[Gandaberunda]], the mythical two-headed bird of Karnataka, is found in Keladi. Also, in the Rameshwara temple, a pillar sculpture shows Maratha Rajaram with Keladi Chennamma (history has it that Rajaram was protected by the queen when he was on the run from the Mughals).

==Religious tolerance==
The Keladi Nayakas were [[Lingayatism|Lingayats]], patronized the religion, constructed numerous mutts and were responsible for the spread of [[Lingayatism]] to the [[Malenadu]] and [[Coastal Karnataka]].<ref name="Rulers of Keladi"/><ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=R84n-Wv1S-8C&q=keladi+nayaka+veerashaiva&pg=PA396 | title=Keladi Nayakas - Shivappa Nayaka and Chennamma, Community Dominance and Political Modernisation: The Lingayats | publisher=Shankaragouda Hanumanthagouda Patil | work=Mittal Publications | year=2002 | isbn=9788170998679 | access-date=22 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mangaluru/Though-a-minority-they-make-their-presence-felt/articleshow/17211015.cms | title=Though a minority, they make their presence felt | work=The Times of India | access-date=22 May 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://lingayatreligion.com/Lingayat/Murugi_Matha.htm | title=Sri Jagadguru Murugharajendra Brihanmath Chitradurga | access-date=22 May 2015 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150528050216/http://lingayatreligion.com/Lingayat/Murugi_Matha.htm | archive-date=28 May 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wJwIAAAAQAAJ&q=Sivappa+nayaka+lingayat&pg=PA355 | title=Mysore and Coorg, a gazetteer - Keladi | year=1876 | publisher=Benjamin Lewis Rice | access-date=7 August 2015}}</ref> There were sixty four mutts in the district of [[Dakshina Kannada]] alone.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.newskarnataka.com/mangalore/beluvais-historic-lake-is-now-a-beautiful-swimming-pool | title=Beluvai's historic lake is now a beautiful swimming pool | publisher=News Karnataka | access-date=22 May 2015}}</ref> Nevertheless, they were tolerant towards followers of other religions and other [[Hindu]] denominations.
The Keladi Nayakas invited Kazi Mahmoud who was a grandson of chief kazi of Adil Shahi kingdom of Bijapur to settle in [[Bhatkal]]. The revenue of Tenginagundi village was given to Kazi Mahmoud. The kazi family of Bhatkal is popularly known as Temunday Family due to the ownership of lands in Tenginagundi. Many [[Nawayath]] Muslims were appointed in the administrative positions. The families of these nobles [[Nawayath]] still use their surnames as [[Ikkeri]] and are mainly settled in and around [[Bhatkal]]. The Golden Kalasa on the dome of [[Bhatkal]] Jamia Masjid popularly known as 'Chinnada Palli' meaning 'Golden Mosque' is believed to be a generous gift from Keladi rulers.
