नाम	वर्ष	क्षेत्र	किसलिए मशहूर
Pulakeshin II	r. 610–642	Emperor	The Chalukya ruler of Badami whose reign is fixed by the Aihole inscription of 634, which records his defeat of Harsha on the Narmada. Under him the dynasty controlled the Deccan from coast to coast and corresponded with the Sasanian court.
Ravikirti	7th century	Poet	Composed the Aihole prashasti of 634 in Sanskrit verse, claiming for himself the standing of Kalidasa and Bharavi. The claim is immodest; the inscription is nevertheless one of the most useful dated documents in early Indian literary history.
Vikramaditya II and Lokamahadevi	r. 733–746	Emperor and queen	Vikramaditya II took Kanchi three times and, by his own inscriptions, spared its temples and rewarded its artisans; his queen Lokamahadevi built the Virupaksha at Pattadakal to mark it, in the southern idiom and with sculptors who knew Pallava work.
Pampa	902–975	Poet	Born at Annigeri on this plain and generally counted the first great poet of Kannada, author of the Adipurana and the Vikramarjuna Vijaya, in which he maps the Mahabharata onto his own patron. He wrote at a court to the east, which makes him the plain's first literary export.
Ranna	b. 949	Poet	From Muduvolal in Gadag district, a bangle-seller's son who became a court poet and wrote the Gadayuddha, the Mahabharata's final duel told from Duryodhana's side. One of the three poets Kannada calls its ratnatraya.
Kumaravyasa (Gadugina Naranappa)	15th century	Poet	Wrote the Karnata Bharata Katha Manjari — the Kannada Mahabharata in bhamini shatpadi metre — held by tradition to have been composed at the Veeranarayana temple at Gadag. It remains the most widely recited Kannada narrative poem.
Kanakadasa	c. 1509–1609	Poet, singer	Born at Bada in Haveri district into a Kuruba family, he wrote kirtanas and long narrative poems in Kannada, including the Ramadhanya Charitre, which argues the case of ragi against rice as a debate between the grains. His songs are core Karnataka devotional repertoire.
Ibrahim Adil Shah II	r. 1580–1627	Sultan, musician, author	Ruled at Vijayapura and wrote the Kitab-i-Nauras, a book of song texts in Dakhni that opens by invoking Saraswati and the Prophet in the same breath. His tomb, the Ibrahim Rauza, is the finest building his dynasty produced.
Kittur Chennamma	1778–1829	Ruler	Rani of Kittur, who refused the East India Company's refusal to recognise her adopted heir and defeated a British force in October 1824 before being captured in a second assault the following year. She died in detention at Bailhongal.
Sangolli Rayanna	1798–1831	Military commander	Chennamma's commander, who kept up a guerrilla campaign in the Belagavi countryside after her capture and was hanged in 1831. His memorial at Nandagad is a site of continuous public commemoration.
Shishunala Sharifa	1819–1889	Poet, singer	A Muslim singer of Shishuvinahal in Haveri district whose guru was the Lingayat Govinda Bhatta, and whose tatva padas in colloquial Kannada are sung across religious lines. His songs entered mass circulation again in the late twentieth century through recordings and film.
Fakirappa Gurubasappa Halakatti	1880–1964	Scholar, lawyer	A Vijayapura lawyer who spent his life and his money collecting palm-leaf vachana manuscripts from mathas and households across the region, editing and publishing them from 1923 onwards. Without that work the twelfth-century corpus would exist mainly as fragments.
Dattatreya Ramachandra Bendre	1896–1981	Poet	Wrote in Dharwad Kannada, drew directly on the region's folk metres, and received the Jnanpith in 1973 for Naaku Tanti. More of his poems have been set to music as bhavageete than any other Kannada poet's.
Sawai Gandharva (Rambhau Kundgolkar)	1886–1952	Hindustani vocalist	Abdul Karim Khan's disciple, who settled at Kundgol near Dharwad and taught there. His two most famous students, Gangubai Hangal and Bhimsen Joshi, went in almost opposite musical directions from the same instruction.
Gangubai Hangal	1913–2009	Hindustani vocalist	Born in Dharwad and trained by Sawai Gandharva, she sang khayal in a deep, austere voice at a time when women in her position were expected to sing lighter forms, and refused to. She performed and taught from Hubballi for six decades.
Bhimsen Joshi	1922–2011	Hindustani vocalist	Born at Gadag, he ran away as a boy to find a teacher and eventually found one back in his own district at Kundgol. He became the most widely heard Hindustani voice of the century and founded the Sawai Gandharva festival in his teacher's name.
Mallikarjun Mansur	1910–1992	Hindustani vocalist	From Mansur village in Dharwad district, a singer of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana known for rare ragas and a dense, fast, intricate delivery — the opposite pole of the plain's musical output from the Kirana line.
Chandrashekhara Kambara	b. 1937	Poet, playwright	Born at Ghodageri in Belagavi district, he built his plays and poems on North Karnataka folk forms — Doddata structure, village myth, the language of the field — and received the Jnanpith in 2010.
Girish Karnad	1938–2019	Playwright, actor	Grew up in Sirsi and studied at Karnatak College in Dharwad; his plays turned folk narrative and myth into modern Kannada theatre, and he received the Jnanpith in 1998.
