'''Ullal''' or ''Uḷḷāla'' is a City Municipality at [[Mangalore]], educational, commercial & industrial hub in [[Dakshina Kannada]] district. It is located
10 km from the [[Mangalore City]] centre. Ullal City Municipality along with the [[Mangalore City Corporation]] forms the continuous Mangalore urban agglomeration area which is currently the fourth biggest in [[Karnataka]] after [[Bangalore]], [[Mysore]] and [[Hubli-Dharwad]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-prov-results/paper2/data_files/India2/Table_3_PR_UA_Citiees_1Lakh_and_Above.pdf | title = Urban Agglomerations and Cities having population 1 lakh and above|work= Provisional Population Totals, Census of India 2011| publisher =The Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200310224309/http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-prov-results/paper2/data_files/India2/Table_3_PR_UA_Citiees_1Lakh_and_Above.pdf|accessdate = 10 August 2014 | archive-date = 10 March 2020}}</ref> There is also a planning to merge Ullal City Municipality & some gram panchayats along with [[Mangalore City Corporation]] to form the Greater Mangalore region. Ullal is one of the oldest towns in India. In the 15th century it came under the rule of the [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]]. Still the remains of its glorious history can be seen in the beaches and other parts of Ullal.<ref>http://beach-tours.tourtravelworld.com/exoctic-beaches/ullal-beach.htm</ref>

It is a town about 8–10 km south of [[Pumpwell]], a major junction in Mangalore & close to the border between the two southern states of [[Karnataka]] and [[Kerala]]. The [[Mangalore International Airport]] is 24 km away from Ullal. It comprises two revenue divisions, Ullal and [[Permannur]], in [[Mangalore taluk|Mangalore Taluk]]. Ullal is adjacent to [[Mangalore City Corporation|City Corporation of Mangalore]], 10 km from District headquarters - [[Mangalore]]. It is the part of the [[Mangalore]] urban agglomeration area. It is developing rapidly with many premium educational institutes and commercial centres. Most of the people in Ullal belong to either [[Beary]] or [[Mogaveera]] ethnic group{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}}.

It is very famous for historic locations like Sayyid Muhammad Shareeful Madani Darga [http://www.seyyidmadaniullal.com/], Sri Cheerumba Bagavathi Temple [https://www.google.co.in/maps/place/Sri+Cheerumba+Bhagavathi+Khesthra,+Vidyaranyanagar,+Ullal,+Karnataka+575020/@12.820113,74.841029,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x3ba35c76210aacff:0x5e900cfdb54dbb9b!8m2!3d12.8201999!4d74.8432199], [[Someshwara Temple]], [[Someshwar Beach]], Kadapara jara Darga, Summer Sands Beach Resort, Queen [[Abbakka Chowta]]'s Fort at Ranipura, K Pandyarajah Ballal Institutes and college of nursing, [[St .Sebastian Church Permannur|St. Sebastian Church Permannur]], Sayyid Madani Institutions, Fish Meal & Oil Plant, and Queen Abbakka's [[Jain temple]] at Melangadi.

This quaint little sea town on the shore of [[Arabian Sea]] was the setting for wide-scale sea-erosion that occurred in the late 1990s and early [[2000s (decade)|this millennium]]. The local authorities, however, have tried to reduce the damage by placing sand bags near the advancing coastline, the benefits of this step are yet to be noted.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/sea-erosion-ullal-project-gains-national-focus/article7556381.ece|title=Sea erosion: Ullal project gains national focus|date=19 August 2015|work=The Hindu|author=Raviprasad Kamila}}</ref> Adjacent to summer sands beach resort is subhash nagar. The remains of [[Abbakka Chowta|Rani Abbakka]]'s fort can be seen in the vicinity of Someshwara Temple.

Ullal is the first "Kerosene Free"<ref>[https://www.deccanherald.com/content/464412/ullal-first-kerosene-free-cmc.html Ullal to be Kerosene Free City soon, as of 2015.]</ref><ref>[http://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=302380 Kerosene free city.]</ref> city in the state of Karnataka.

==History==

This town was the subsidiary capital of the [[Chowta]] rulers and was ruled by [[Jain]] Queen, [[Abbakka Chowta]] in the middle of the 16th century.

[[Abbakka Chowta]] of Ullal can perhaps be proclaimed the first promoter of women’s liberation. A regular firebrand, the people of Ullal look upon her with much pride. A Jain princess of 16th century, she came to the throne on the death of her sister. She was married to the King of [[Mangalore]], but the marriage was not a success. In a few years the couple was estranged with the queen returning to her beloved Ullal. The reason for the grouse was, the queen was averse to the payment of subsidy demanded by the Portuguese. While her husband continued to be subservient to them, the queen was openly rebellious. Relations between the royal couple steadily worsened and finally ended with divorce, with the queen returning all the jewels to her ex-husband. War was declared and the queen was captured while on a sailing expedition on the [[Netravati River|Nethravathi]]. Taken prisoner she was presented before her husband. However, on this one occasion the queen thought discretion the better part of valour and with all her womanly charms got the [[Banga Arasa]] (King) to set her free and return all her lands to her. The Raja went so far as to avow his eternal friendship to her. But hardly had she reached the precincts of her own kingdom then she vowed to wage war on her husband once more.

For this she sought the help of the powerful Raja of Bednore. The Banga Raja had meanwhile enlisted the help of the Portuguese to subjugate his wife. The Raja of Bednore being an opportunist was only too ready to enter the fray. The Banga-[[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]] alliance was defeated with the Banga Fort razed to the ground. The queen had to part with the fertile tract of land at Berdatte to the Bednore King for his support.

Having successfully defeated her husband, the queen now turned her attention to the Portuguese with whom she maintained her unconciliatory attitude. Several punitive expeditions were sent against her, which she repulsed successfully with the help of the [[Zamorin of Calicut]]. Another expedition sent under João Peixoto in 1566 ended in disaster for the Portuguese. The queen along with Chennappa Mogaveera (Gurikara) as [[commander-in-chief]] and [[Mogaveera]] warriors she surrounded the Portuguese frigate at night. She took them by surprise and inflicted a crushing defeat on them. Incensed by the defeat made all the more insulting at the hands of a woman, the Portuguese sent a veritable armada under the leadership of the Portuguese Governor himself. While the queen met with initial success, she was betrayed, so some say, by her own people for a casket of silver. However, the army of the queen was thoroughly outnumbered. What ensured was a bloody massacre with the queen escaping to the hills, a fugitive. Another version has it that the queen had killed herself rather than give herself up to the enemy which really seems more in keeping with her character.

[[Pietro Della Valle]], a renowned traveller and historian of the 16th century, seems to have been fascinated by her. Her militant nature aroused his interest and he made several attempts to meet her. His efforts finally met with success when he accidentally came across her in the bazaar. His foreign mein and dress elicited her interest and with the aid of an interpreter, courtesies were exchanged and an invitation issued to visit the royal palace.

Della Valle was enamoured of "her perfect dignity, handsome feature and exemplary assiduity. Active and vigorous in actions of war and weighty affairs. Even at night she was not free to take rest but dispensed justice to her people." His description of her is at once romantic and realistic. He puts her age down at 40, dark complexioned and with elegant figure. At another instance, he says she could be mistaken for a common kitchen wench, but for her graceful and judicious speech. Her scanty clothing of only a loincloth may have created this impression. He seems highly impressed with her administrative qualities and doesn’t give much credence to the rumours of her having poisoned her elder two sons, who were aspiring to the throne.

One can see the ruins of the fort she built around Somanatheshwara temple. This temple houses few things related to the Abbakka Chowta. There is an old Jain temple ([[Jain temple|basadi]]) in the town which belonged to the queen. Ullal was one of the major ports of the western coast in the pre-colonial era.<ref>[http://www.athelstane.co.uk/tchodson/ind_ethn/ind_ethn.htm#q094 Analysis of the 1931 Census of India]</ref>
