Mulbagal

Mulbagal is a town and taluk headquarters of Mulbagal taluk in the Kolar district in the state of Karnataka, India. It lies just off the National Highway 4 as the easternmost town of the state and a hill landmark.
Etymology
"Mulbagilu" (ಮುಳಬಾಗಿಲು) comes from the word mudalabagilu, which means the "eastern door" in the native Kannada language. Mulbagal was supposedly the easternmost frontier of (and thereby the entrance to) the state of Mysore. Hence, the name. Mulbagal was also the eastern gate to the Vijayanagara Empire.
History
One legend describes how the Hanuman temple here was installed by Arjuna, one of the Pandavas, after the Mahabharata war. Sage Vasishta is believed to have installed the idols of the main deity Srinivasa, Padmavati and Rama-Sita-Lakshmana.
In modern history, Mulbagal is mentioned as the site of the Battle of Mulwagul on 4 October 1768, during the First Anglo-Mysore War.
