The [[Chalukya]]s ruled Dharwad during the 12th century. A stone inscription indicates that there was a ruler by the name of BhaskaraDeva in 1117. In the 14th century, the district was first overrun by the [[Bahmani Sultanate]], after which it was annexed to the newly established [[Hindu]] kingdom of [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagar]], an official of which named "Dhar Rao", according to local tradition, built the fort at Dharwad town in 1403. After the defeat of the king of Vijayanagar in the [[Battle of Talikota]] (1565), Dharwad was for a few years practically independent under its Hindu governor; but in 1573 the fort was captured by the sultan of [[Bijapur Sultanate|Bijapur]], [[Adil Shah]], and Dharwad was annexed to his dominions. Adil Shah built a fort in an area later called Manna Killa, and later Nazratabad. With this fort, the strategic importance of Dharwad increased and it attracted the attention of subsequent conquerors, including [[Aurangzeb]], [[Shivaji]], Aurangzeb's son [[Bahadur Shah I]], [[Peshwa]] [[Balaji Baji Rao]], [[Hyder Ali]], [[Tipu Sultan]] and finally the [[British Raj|British]] colonizers.<ref name="UoAS">{{Cite web|author=|url=https://kvkdharwad.org/District%20profile.pdf|title=District Profile|publisher=University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad}}</ref> | The [[Chalukya]]s ruled Dharwad during the 12th century.
