The original name of bangarpet was Bowring pet then an officer named Bowring pet was working in the kolar gold fields so the place was named after his name.

The Hutti is a gold mine which is also situated in Karnataka. Hutti gold mines are in Raichur district of Karnataka state.We must remember that the champion reef was the second deepest underground mine in the world; its depth is 3200 mts. Kala Ghoda is situated in Maharashtra.
Kala ghoda is the art district of Maharashtra. Kala ghoda is not a gold mine. Kala Ghoda is full of museums, art galleries, heritage buildings and many educational institutes are there which are related to art. We have to know that the Kolar gold field is the gold mine which is situated at Bangarpet Taluk of Karnataka state. Kolar gold field is a mining region situated at bangarpet taluk. The kolar gold field is the town which connects the gold mines with the electronic city Bangalore. The kolar gold field is also known as little England.

We have to remember that the Kolar gold field was founded by the western gangas in the second century CE. They used to call the city as “Kuvalla-Puravareshwara” which means the lord of kolar. Kolar came under the control of the Cholas in 1004 .
Around 1117 the Hoysalas captured the kolar from Cholas and drove them away. In 1254 kolar was given to the king Ramanatha by his father Vira someshwara. Vijaynagar rule of kolar was from 1336 to 1664 .The history of kolar was compiled by Fred Goodwill. He was the superintendent of the Wesleyan Tamil mission. His studies were published in Mythic society’s quarterly journal.
