== Etymology == |
|||
The name of the town was originally ''Maryaada raamanna puram'' which changed to "Madanapalle". It is one of the biggest Revenue Divisions of the [[Chittoor district]]. |
|||
== History == |
== History == |
||
Madanapalle was founded by Sri Maadanna in 1618 [[AD]].<ref name=info /> |
|||
The history of Madanapalle dates back to 907 [[Anno Domini|AD]] in the reign of [[Chola Kingdom]]. Earlier, the town was located to west of Sri Yogabhogeswara Swami Temple. Upon vastu sastra corrections, Palegar Sriman Ahobilanayani thought about changing the location of the town. They left a cow to graze the grass. The cow started grazing the grass along the forest and stopped at a particular place. That was the place decided for initiation of construction of new town. Ahobilanayani varu constructed fort around the town. Later on it destroyed with the age. The present streets in Madanapalle like Kota Street, Agarthala street, Sepoy street are the reminiscences of previous establishments. |
|||
Madanapalle was ruled by Vijayanagara Palegars namely Basanna and Madanna. In memory of their names, the two hills on the east of Madanapalle were named as “Madanna Hill” and “Basavanna Hill” which gradually transformed to Madinikonda and Basinikonda. During 907 – 955, Yadavanayikas and Hoyasalas ruled by [[Vijayanagara Empire]]. After its downfall, it went under the rule of Golkonda nawabs during 1565. During 1713, the Kadapa Nawab, Abdul Nabi Khan captured Madanapalle. Madanapalle was transformed from Karnataka provinson to Kadapa division. There was war between Kadapa Nawabs and Maharastra rulers for the sake of Madanapalle and Punganur provision. Kadapa Nawab was defeated by Balajirao Peshi and captured Madanapalle later Tipu Sultan annexed it before falling to the British. |
|||
During the early British administration, [[Sir Thomas Munro]], the first Collector of [[Cuddapah]], played a significant role in the development of the town. He constructed a small thatched house at the present-day location of the Collector's bungalow and visited Madanapalle every summer. Munro’s connection with the town is well documented, as he facilitated British control in the region during the early 19th century. Madanapalle and its surrounding areas were formally integrated into the British administration when the region came under their rule in 1800.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hunter |first1=William Wilson |title=The Imperial Gazetteer Of India Vol 16 |date=1908 |publisher=The Clarendon Press |location=Oxford |page=227 |edition=2 |url=https://archive.org/details/the-imperial-gazetteer-of-india-vol-16/page/226/mode/2up}}</ref> |

In 1850, Madanapalle was developed as a subdivision under British India, with F.B. Manoly appointed as its first Sub-Collector. Over the years, the town faced several natural calamities, including floods, famines, and epidemics, which shaped its social and economic development.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1996-06-17 |title=Indian cyclone abates after killing more than 120 - India {{!}} ReliefWeb |url=https://reliefweb.int/report/india/indian-cyclone-abates-after-killing-more-120 |access-date=2023-07-12 |website=reliefweb.int |language=en}}</ref> |

Madanapalle is also linked to a significant moment in India's national history. In 1919, [[Rabindranath Tagore]] visited the town and stayed at the [[Besant Theosophical College]], where he translated the Indian national anthem, ''[[Jana Gana Mana]]'', from [[Bengali language|Bengali]] to English. Tagore also set it to western musical notations while in Madanapalle. Jana Gana Mana was originally written in 1911 and first sung at the [[Indian National Congress]] session in Calcutta on 27 December 1911. |

[[Rabindranath Tagore]] translated "[[Jana Gana Mana]]" from [[Bengali language|Bengali]] to English and also set it to music in Madanapalle. The [[National Anthem]] was written by [[Rabindranath Tagore]] as early as in 1911 and was sung at the annual session of the Indian National Congress at Calcutta on December 27 that year. But it was actually done in Besant Theosophical College, Madanapalle, where Tagore stayed for few days in February 1919 that the now familiar tune was set. It was [[Margaret Cousins]], wife of educationist, [[James Cousins|Dr. James Henry Cousins]], who composed the tune for ‘Janaganamana.’ Dr. Cousins was then the Principal of the Madanapalle College that was established by Dr. [[Annie Besant]]. |

Madanapalle is headquarters of Madanapalle Mandal,Madanapalle revenue division and PKM Urban Development Authority.[3][4]
History
[edit]Madanapalle was founded by Sri Maadanna in 1618 AD.[4]
During the early British administration, Sir Thomas Munro, the first Collector of Cuddapah, played a significant role in the development of the town. He constructed a small thatched house at the present-day location of the Collector's bungalow and visited Madanapalle every summer. Munro’s connection with the town is well documented, as he facilitated British control in the region during the early 19th century. Madanapalle and its surrounding areas were formally integrated into the British administration when the region came under their rule in 1800.[5]
In 1850, Madanapalle was developed as a subdivision under British India, with F.B. Manoly appointed as its first Sub-Collector. Over the years, the town faced several natural calamities, including floods, famines, and epidemics, which shaped its social and economic development.[6]
Madanapalle is also linked to a significant moment in India's national history. In 1919, Rabindranath Tagore visited the town and stayed at the Besant Theosophical College, where he translated the Indian national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, from Bengali to English. Tagore also set it to western musical notations while in Madanapalle. Jana Gana Mana was originally written in 1911 and first sung at the Indian National Congress session in Calcutta on 27 December 1911.
