About Kalaburagi
Kalaburagi means the "land of stones and thorns" in Kannada (kalmeans "stone" and "bur" means thorn). Gulbarga means "city of flowers and gardens" in Persian and Urdu (gulmeans "flower" andbarmeans "leaf"). The history of Kalaburagi can be traced to the sixth century. It was ruled by the Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas, Yadavas and Hoysalas till the early 14th century, when this city was annexed to the Delhi Sultanate, first by General Ulugh Khan and then by Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq. After the sultan's death, it fell to the Bahmani kingdom (of which it was the capital between 1347 and c. 1424) and, upon the break-up of that power, to Bijapur.
