नाम	वर्ष	क्षेत्र	किसलिए मशहूर
Kuvempu (K. V. Puttappa)	1904–1994	Poet, novelist	Born at Kuppalli in Thirthahalli, he wrote Sri Ramayana Darshanam and the Malnad novels Kanooru Heggadithi and Malegalalli Madumagalu, and received the first Jnanpith awarded to a Kannada writer, in 1967. His formulation of the vishwa manava — the universal person a child is born as and is then narrowed into — remains widely quoted in Karnataka.
U. R. Ananthamurthy	1932–2014	Novelist, critic	Born at Melige in the same taluk as Kuvempu. His novel Samskara, written in 1965, examines a Brahmin agrahara's response to a death it does not want to handle, and became the defining work of the Kannada navya movement. He received the Jnanpith in 1994.
Poornachandra Tejaswi	1938–2007	Writer, naturalist, photographer	Kuvempu's son, who moved to a farm near Mudigere and wrote about the Malnad he actually lived in — its fishermen, mechanics, birds and dogs — in a plain style that broke deliberately with his father's. Karvalo and Chidambara Rahasya changed what Kannada prose could be about.
K. V. Subbanna	1932–2005	Cultural organiser, publisher	Built Ninasam at Heggodu from a village drama troupe into a theatre institute, repertory, film society and publishing house, on the argument that serious culture belongs in a village rather than being carried to it. He received the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1991.
Rani Chennamma of Keladi	r. 1671–1697	Ruler	Ruled the Keladi Nayaka state from Bidanur and is recorded as having sheltered the Maratha prince Rajaram in 1690 and refused to surrender him under Mughal pressure. She is a different person from the Kittur Chennamma of the plain to the north, and the two are frequently confused.
Shivappa Nayaka	r. 1645–1660	Ruler, administrator	The Keladi ruler whose land revenue settlement — the shistu — assessed holdings by soil and crop rather than by a flat rate, and is still cited locally as the standard against which later systems were judged.
Akka Mahadevi	12th century	Poet	Born at Udutadi in the Shivamogga hills. She left marriage and household and walked east to the assembly at Kalyana, where she was examined before being admitted; her vachanas, signed Chennamallikarjuna, are among the earliest sustained bodies of women's writing in any Indian language.
Allama Prabhu	12th century	Poet, mystic	From Balligavi in the same district, and the presiding figure of the Anubhava Mantapa at Kalyana. Two of the movement's three central figures came out of these hills and made their reputations on the dry plateau three hundred kilometres east.
Vishnuvardhana	r. c. 1108–1152	Ruler	The Hoysala king under whom Belur and Halebidu were begun, and under whom the dynasty moved from a hill chieftaincy on this ghat edge to control of most of southern Karnataka.
Shantala Devi	12th century	Queen, dancer	Vishnuvardhana's queen, a trained dancer and a Jain in a Vaishnava court, and a patron of temple building in her own right. The bracket figures at Belur are popularly associated with her, which is a tradition rather than a documented fact.
Baba Budan	17th century	Sufi figure	Traditionally credited with carrying seven coffee seeds out of Yemen and planting them on the hills near Chikkamagaluru that now bear his name. The account is traditional rather than documented, but the hills, the shrine and the first Indian coffee are all in the same place.
Vidyaranya	14th century	Scholar, jagadguru	A Sringeri pontiff, traditionally credited in the accounts with encouraging the founding of the Vijayanagara state on the Tungabhadra. The tradition links this math to the empire that later ruled the dry plateau downstream of its own river.
Field Marshal K. M. Cariappa	1899–1993	Soldier	Born at Shanivarsanthe in Kodagu, and the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, taking charge in January 1949. He was made Field Marshal in 1986.
General K. S. Thimayya	1906–1965	Soldier	Born at Madikeri, Army Chief from 1957 to 1961, and earlier chairman of the neutral repatriation commission in Korea. Kodagu, a district of a few lakh people, produced both him and Cariappa within seven years of each other.
