You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gangolli''' (also Ganguli) is a village in [[Kundapur]] Taluk of [[Udupi]] district in [[Karnataka]] state.<ref name="Census2011"/> It is situated at the estuary of the [[Panchagangavalli River]]. It is located on a [[peninsula]] on the west coast of Karnataka. It is bordered by the river to the east and by the [[Arabian Sea]] to the west.

The town was originally spelt as "Ganguli", but is now more commonly spelled as "Gangolli".  The postal seal however still uses the old spelling.((Citation needed|date=May 2023))

== Location ==
Gangolli is situated at the mouth of an estuary where 5 rivers, [[Souparnika River]], [[Varahi River]], [[Kedaka River]], [[Chakra River]], and [[Kubja River]], together called "Panchagangavali" meet.<ref>((cite news |last= Sastry|first= Anil Kumar|date=27 October 2021|title=Where sea and river jog together|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/where-sea-and-river-jog-together/article7056147.ece|newspaper=The Hindu))</ref> The local Kannada versions of those river names are Kollooru hole, Haladi hole, Rajadi hole, Vandse hole and Hemmadi hole.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.mallyarmutt.org/history.html | title=Gangolli-a picturesque ancient holy place | publisher=mallyarmutt.org | accessdate=6 January 2019 ))</ref>

== History ==
During the turmoil in the [[Vijayanagar Empire]] following its defeat at the [[Battle of Tallikota]] in 1565, Gangolli came under the rule of the [[Nayakas of Keladi]] from [[Keladi]] who until then were vassals/chieftains of Vijayanagara but seized the opportunity to break away and declare independence as the [[Bednore]] Kingdom.<ref name="auto">Arabian Seas By R. J. Barendse</ref> The population and activity around Gangolli at the time was scanty as most of the surrounding area continued to be densely forested. The people living in and around Gangolli were predominantly Veerashaivas, Jains and their occupations being agriculture and fishing. [[Basrur]], further inland from Gangolli was a more prominent place being mentioned even in the writings of 13th century traveller [[Ibn Battuta]].

Around 1560, a large number of Portuguese & Goan Catholic families migrated to Gangolli and further south. These affluent migrants purchased large portions of land from individual residents and also directly from the Keladi Vassal Sadashiva Nayaka under whose patronage they cleared forested areas to accommodate themselves. Their purposes were to build homes, pursue agriculture and to continue trade. Their pioneering contribution to the development of the region was quick in coming as they resumed their old trade now from a new base in Gangolli and [[Basrur]] (referred to then as [[Barcelor]]) making Gangolli into a prime maritime location at the time.<ref name="auto"/><ref>((cite web|url=http://mudiraja.weebly.com/keladi-nayaka-kingdom.html|title=KELADI NAYAKA KINGDOM|publisher=))</ref>

The patronage provided by the Keladi Nayakas to the Christian immigrants was not appreciated by the over-zealous [[Goa Inquisition]] focused Portuguese administration in [[Goa]] at the time. However, in and around Gangolli the relationship and inter-dependence between the local rulers and their new enterprising subjects was deepening by the day especially after the Keladi Nayaks staked claim to independence in 1565. Many of the gun wielding, horse trading/riding men joined as [[mercenaries]] to fight alongside Keladi armies, offered services on trading & tax collecting ships or trained the armies of the Keladi Nayaks on the use of firearms and open-sea warfare.<ref name="auto"/> It will be interesting to note that in subsequent years Christian persons in the area would be addressed as 'Nayak' or 'Naik' and this tradition continues to this day. It is believed that the first church in South Kanara came up on the Gangolli Bunder around 1560 which was in effect just a prayer hall without a [[tabernacle]] as there was no priest around there at the time.

Aware of Gangolli's rapid development in recent times, during the reign of Virabhadra Nayaka(1629–1645) the Portuguese captured Gangolli in 1629 under the command of [[Miguel de Noronha, 4th Count of Linhares]]. He built a fort at the mouth of the estuary in Gangolli and dedicated it to St. Michael ([[Michael (archangel)]]). He also commissioned the building of a small but proper church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. Upon the completion of this church in 1630, the old prayer hall on the Bunder was razed to the ground and the new church was re-dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
[[File:Immaculate Conception Church, Gangolli.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Immaculate Conception Church]]

[[Shivappa Nayaka]] ascended the throne in 1645 after Virabhadra. He ran several campaigns to regain territories lost over the years. By the year 1654 he managed to push the Portuguese back and reclaim now a fortified Gangolli and [[Honnavar]] then also called Onore.<ref name="auto"/><ref>European Warfare, 1494-1660 By Jeremy Black</ref> Shivappa in his fury also ordered that the small Church building built by them in 1630 be destroyed. This act literally undid the kingdom as instability hit the Keladi Nayaka dynasty. Within the next 3 years, Shivappa's 15-year reign came to an abrupt end in 1660. In the following 12 years, 3 rulers came and went as the dynasty began to crumble - Chikka Venkatappa Nayaka (1660–1662), Bhadrappa Nayaka (1662–1664) & Somashekara Nayaka I (1664–1672).

[[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]] was traditionally one of the main Arab ports trading with the entire west coast of India. A Muscat port log of 1672 reveals that Muscat has 16 ships that came in from Sind, 4 from the Malabar, 4 from the Makran Coast, 1 from Karwar, 2 from Patan, 2 from Pate, 14 from Konkani Ports, 2 from Mocha, 2 from Surat & Broach, 2 from Maldives, 16 from Kung and the highest - 27 from [[Bhatkal]], Barcelor ([[Basrur]] via Gangolli) & [[Mangalore]].<ref name="auto"/>

In 1672, the widow of Somashekara Nayaka, [[Keladi Chennamma]] (also referred to as Chenammajji or Chennammarani) took over the dynasty after the death of her husband. While the financial gains of the kingdom bloomed, the personal losses with rapid successive deaths of its rulers was going unchecked. In a move to ward off the misfortune that had befallen the dynasty, she was advised by her ministers to immediately facilitate the reconstruction of the Church destroyed by Shivappa Nayaka. Without a delay, she donated land and urged the Christians to rebuild the Church. Almost miraculously then, the tide turned. The dynasty stabilized and her rule continued unhindered thereafter for the next 12 years and the Keladi Dynasty continued until it was among the last to lose autonomy to the Mysore Rulers in 1757 and then subsequently to the British.

On one occasion in 1697 however, a fleet of Arabs from Muscat went on a rampage damaging temples and sacking areas from Gangolli, [[Kundapur]] to [[Basrur]] when they were refused royal permission to set up a factory there.<ref name="auto"/>

By 1799, the worst was over. With the death of [[Tipu Sultan]], some of the battered Christian survivors returned but only to find that their wealth and properties were all gone. Some survivors did get back some of their land holdings or houses. Not all were that lucky. But nonetheless, they all had to start all over again. The task of rebuilding the church also began.

Under the Vijayanagar rulers, Gangolli had been a transit town for ships going further inland to [[Basrur]]. Trade was primarily with the Portuguese and the Arabs of Muscat. Horses, dates came inland in exchange for rice, pepper and kitchen vessels primarily of copper. By 1680 Gangolli had lost out to [[Mangalore]] as a preferred trading port due to the fact that even large seafaring vessels could go into the broad and up to 17-fathom-deep Netravali River and load rice. 
During the British administration, Gangolli grew into an important commerce and export centre with business connections to [[Bombay]], [[Kerala]], [[Gujarat]], the [[Middle East]], [[Lakshadweep]] and [[Tanzania]]. The main exports were [[Rice]], [[jaggery]] and [[coconut]].<ref name="DH"/>

After Indian independence in 1948, the village continued to be a trading centre, but trading activities suffered due to the construction of [[National Highway 17 (India)]] or NH-17 (recently renumbered as [[National Highway 66 (India)|NH-66]]) and the introduction of modern transport systems, replacing shipping.((Citation needed|date=June 2011))

Fr Paul D.G. Rego started the Labour School on 1 October 1949. Fr Michael Noronha constructed St Joseph Primary and Stella Maris Girls’ High School.  Fr Thomas D’Sa constructed the new school building at Kannada Kudru.  Fr Felix Noronha did the renovation of the school building in December 2001.  A new school building was constructed and computer education was started at the elementary school.<ref name="mangalorean.com">((Cite web |url=http://www.mangalorean.com/ekata/cdetail.php?chid=46 |title=Archived copy |access-date=18 October 2014 |archive-date=18 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018142633/http://www.mangalorean.com/ekata/cdetail.php?chid=46 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

From the 1980s it developed as a major fishing centre with the introduction of mechanised fishing. It has now become the second largest bunder in Karnataka. Presently more than 200 boats are moored here.

==Economy==
