Hagaratagi is an ancient centre of historical importance, located on the left bank of river Doni, 48km of Surpur. Though it has rich remnants of megalithic culture and has remains of the Shatavahana period it appears in historical documents only from 11th century onwards. In several stone inscriptions of circa 11-12th century the place is mentioned as ‘Pagalate-300’, ‘Pagarite-nadu’ and ‘Hagarattige-300’ and it flourished as the administrative headquarters of three hundred villages besides also a religious and educational centre. Twelve inscriptions are reported so far from here of three six pertain to the Chalukyas of Kalyana, one to the Kalachuris and the remaining to the Yadavas of Devagiri. From these it is known that in the past ‘Hagaratagi’ was a ‘Survamasyada uttama agrahara comprising 500 mahajanas and was famous as Pandava-datti (i.e, given by the Pandavas).
The oldest of these inscriptions is the one of 1092 belonging to Vikramaditya VI and it reveals the gift of 300 mattars of land for god Nakhareshwara of Hagaratagi by mahapradana dandanayaka Ahavamallarasa. A damaged inscription of 1126 standing in-front of the ‘Kallaragudi’ located west of the village while mentioning the construction of Mallikarjuna temple, incidentally speaks also of Lakkaneshvara temple. Another inscription of Hagaratagi belonging to Vikramaditya VI records that having caused to be constructed a Shiva temple the 120 okkalus of Bhogara Nakhara Sangha gave various gifts to it. Among the three inscriptions in Basavanna temple standing outside the village, one of 1144 belonging to the reign of Jagadekamalla II, informs that various groups including the mahajanas of Hagaratagi and Aihole-500, the merchant guild gave a gift for the Angabhoga of god Gaveshvara of the temple caused to be built by them, besides five mattaras of land measured by the manikeshvarada-kolu and also income from several toils. Another inscription states that Kolagada Mallimayya having purchased a land gave it into the hands of Suryarasi pandita, the acharya of Gavereshvara, for god Mallikarjuna caused to be made by him. The third inscription is located in the same temple and dated 1166, belongs to Kalachuris Sankamadeva and informs that the traders gave a land after purchasing it, for the worship of god Gavareshvara, it gives the important information that the land so purchased belonged to the Trikuteshvara temple. In addition is also record a separate grant of land for god Bhairava there.

BUDDARAMANE (DWARF)
Rajankollur is a place of both prehistoric and historic importance, located 45km of Surpur, and the taluk headquarters. On the way to the thirtha village, about one and half km away from the main branch canal are found scattered , hundreds of Megalithic tombs in an area of 3-4 acres of land. Rajankollur is among the most remarkable megalithic sites in south India. The rectangle structures with side slabs supporting a roof are called dolmens. How there are different kinds, with either three or four sides and with or without a port-hole. The partly buried, box like structures interspersed among the dolmens are called cists. All of Rajankollur cists have their longer side slabs projecting beyond the shorter slabs-this prevents the cist from collapsing inwards.
Scholars have expressed the view that the present day village was also a site of Megalithic culture. The availability of small and large sized megaliths together in such large numbers at one locality is noteworthy. It is important to note that the tombs of megalithic culture, which is a continuation of the Neolithic culture found in the sites of neighboring kodekal, budhihal and hunasagi area.
