HISTORY
| In the year
1120 AD, the Chola King, Veera Ballalla ruled the
Deccan plateau or the South of India. On a hunting
trip in the forest he lost his way. After a long
search he met an old lady in the forest who
offered him shelter for the night and served him
baked beans for dinner. To show his gratitude to
this lady for having saved his life, the King
constructed a town and named it as Benda Kalooru
which means Baked Beans. Later in 1537, a local
chieftain, Kempe Gowda helped design this town and
give it its modern shape. |
