Under Chola rule, King Uththama Chola is said to have built the temple to Renuka. Around the 13th century, the sage Pavananthi Munivar wrote Nannool about Tamil grammar at the Ulagamadhi cave. The Western Gangas made Kolar their capital and ruled Mysore, Coimbatore, Salem. Vira Someshwara divided the empire between his two sons in 1254, and Kolar was given to Ramanatha. Around 1117, the Hoysalas (under Vishnuvardhana) captured Talakadu and Kolar and drove the Cholas from the Kingdom of Mysore. Following their usual naming system, the Cholas called the district Nikarilichola-mandala. From Talakadu, the Western Gangas ruled Gangavadi (the southern home of the Kannada people). For as long as they were in power (nearly 1,000 years) they used the title "Kuvalala-Puravareshwara" (Lord of Kolar), even after they moved their capital to Talakadu. The Western Gangas founded Kolar in the second century CE. Goodwill's studies were published in the Quarterly Journal of the Mythic Society and elsewhere. The early history of the Kolar Gold Fields was compiled by Fred Goodwill, superintendent of the Wesleyan Tamil Mission, Bangalore and Kolar Gold Fields.
