'''Hospattan''' officially known as '''Hosapatna''' is a village near the bank of the river [[Sharavati]] in [[Honnavar taluk]] in the [[Uttara Kannada]] district of [[Karnataka]] state of [[India]]. Once the capital of [[Nawayath Sultanate]] and the former settlement of [[Nawayath]] community.<br />

== History ==<br />
In 1342, it was visited by the Moroccan traveller [[Ibn Battuta]], where he spoke about their social, economic, religious, cultural, and administrative factors. He describes the Sultan Jamaluddin as one of the best and most powerful rulers.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Battuta |first1=Ibn |editor1-last=Husain |editor1-first=Mahdi |title=The Rehla of Ibn Battuta |date=1976 |publisher=Oriental Institute Baroda |pages=177–181 |url=https://archive.org/details/TheRehlaOfIbnBattuta/page/n270/mode/1up?view=theater}}</ref> According to Victor D'Souza, this location is strewn with debris, featuring piles of stones in multiple areas, along with the remnants of a mosque foundation that includes a [[minaret]] approximately 20 feet tall, characterized by a rounded design and internal stairs. Leading to the mosque area, there are spacious passages. The several heaps of rubble collected at various places would testify to the existence of a large number of houses.<ref name="Victor" /><br />

In 1427, Timmanna-Odeya, the governor of the Vijayanagar Empire, was operating from his headquarters in [[Honnavar]]. Following a dispute with the Hanjamana (corrupted word of 'Anjuman' also known as 'Jamaat') chief, who faced harassment from the governor, Ummaramarakala (Umar [[Marakkar]]), the Hanjamana chief sought help from Sangiraya Odeya of Nagire after relocating to [[Kasarkod]]. Meanwhile, Timmanna-Odeya launched a treacherous assault on Kasarkod and treated the women of the [[Nawayath|Hanjamana]] community harshly. They were saved by Kotishvaranayaka, the minister of Sangiraya Odeya who bravely fought against the governor. The Hanjamana (or Nawayath) community were transported to safety using ferries.<ref name="Victor">{{cite book |last1=D'Souza |first1=Victor |title=The Navayats Of Kanara |date=1955 |publisher=Kannada Research Institute Dharwad |pages=40–48 |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.507633/page/n1/mode/1up?view=theater}}</ref><br />
