The region has been inhabited by humans since the Neolithic period. The Vedic period saw the rise of major political formations in the region, with the Gangas, Kadambas, and Nolambas ruling major parts of the territory. Following the Nolambas' demise, the Western Chalukyas rose to power in the sixth century. The Chalukyas and Rashtrakutas fought for control of the region over the next few centuries, with the latter eventually triumphing. The Hoysalas came to power in the region in the late 10th century and ruled for over two centuries. The Vijayanagara Empire rose to prominence in the 14th century and ruled the majority of the region for more than two centuries, which helped to shape Karnataka, which is still being enjoyed to this date.
In 1565, the empire fell to the Mughals, who ruled for the next century. Following the death of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, the Maratha Empire seized control of the region and ruled for over a century. The region was annexed by the British East India Company in 1818, and it eventually became a part of the British Raj. Following India's independence in 1947, the region was incorporated into the newly formed state of Mysore. The state was renamed Karnataka in 1956, and it was eventually divided into the districts of Belgaum, Gulbarga, Bijapur, Hyderabad, and Bellary.
Today, Karnataka enjoys great prosperity in terms of economic flourishment and is definitely a perfect tourist hub.
