In 1601, Sultan Ismail Adil Shah of Bijapur conquered the fortress of Banaganapalli from Raja Nanda Chakravathy.

The fort and surrounding districts were placed under the control of his victorious general, Siddhu Sumbal, who held them until 1665.

Muhammad Beg Khan-e Rosebahani was granted Banaganapalli and the surrounding jagir in perpetual fiefdom but died without a male heir, leaving the jagir of Banaganapalli to his adopted son, Faiz Ali Khan Bahadur.

Aurangzeb conquered the Sultanate of Bijapur in 1686, but Faiz Ali Khan's fief was secured by the intervention of his maternal uncle Mubariz Khan, who served as Aurangzeb's viceroy of the Deccan.

Sri Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy wrote Kalagnanam on the hill of Ravvala konda, near Banaganapalli.

Sri Kalagnani Jagadguru Madvirat Pothuluri Veerabrahmendra Swamy is one of the great saints of India.

All these palm leaf books tell the future of the world till the end of Kaliyuga.
