HISTORY OF CHITTOOR DISTRICT ; AT A GLANCE CHITTOOR DISTRICT that foxms part of ancient WtAVINDANAEU has a long history enjoying or suffering of the VICISSITUDAS that cast the sunshine or shadows on the region righ^ from the tiines earlier to PALLAVA DYKASTY. Places like Marayanavanam# Karvetinagar,Chandragirl,Karakarobadi«Venkatagiri kota and Tirupathi were .in prominence either as capitals of kingdoms or forts in the territories of PALLAVAS«CKOLAS«SALLAL DYI€ASTY,VIJAYANAGAR KINGS, BAHmANI CHISFS AND the ZAMINDARS or POLIGARS* as kingdoms rose and fell with the marching of times.
