India is a land of extraordinary contrasts, where ancient traditions meet modern innovation, and natural wonders coexist with vibrant cities.
Belagavi has a rich historical past, dating back to the Chalukya and Ratta dynasties. The city has witnessed rule under various empires, including the Yadavas, the Bahmani Sultanate, the Vijayanagara Empire, the Marathas, and the British Raj. It played a significant role during the freedom struggle of India and is also known as the venue of the 1924 Indian National Congress session, presided over by Mahatma Gandhi.
