The Hoysala Folklore
There is an interesting story behind the name of this Empire. It is said that a young boy named Sala was with his teacher when suddenly a tiger started approaching them to attack. The teacher handed Sala an iron rod and shouted “Poy Sala” (“strike Sala”). Sala took the iron rod and killed the tiger.
