This episode delves into Bangalore's war-torn past, uncovering the stories of two epic battles: Hebbal and Tumbepadi. Host Ramjee Chandran guides us through ancient inscriptions and historical accounts. We meet Kittaya, the valiant warrior who defended Hebbal from a Rastrakuta attack in the 8th century. We then journey to Tumbepadi (present-day Tumbadi), where loyal Begur chieftain Nagattara perished in a fierce battle for King Ereyappa. Explore the artistic details of the hero stones commemorating these fallen heroes, offering a glimpse into the brutality and heroism of these ancient conflicts. Join us as we rewrite Bangalore's origin story, one battle cry at a time.
