#Name: Kitturu is a village in Belgaum district of Karnataka, the erstwhile Kitturu Kingdom. The ruler of this kingdom was Rani Chennamma. She became queen of her native kingdom and married Raja Mallasarja, of the Desai family, and had one son. After their son's death in 1824 she adopted Shivalingappa, and made him heir to the throne. The British East India Company did not accept this and ordered Shivalingappa's expulsion, using a policy of Doctrine of Lapse but Chennamma defied the order. In 1824, 33 years before the 1857 war of independence, she led an armed rebellion against the British in response to the Doctrine of Lapse. The resistance ended in her martyrdom and she is remembered today as one of the earliest Indian rulers to have fought for independence. Since the train connects Bangalore to Kolhapur, but passing from the northern parts of Karnataka where Chennamma was influential, the train has been named as Rani Chennamma Express in her honour.

Re# 816945-14              
One halt at MH?? As i remember 2 halts are there in Maharashtra with Miraj and Kolhapur and return train 16590 is having three halts with Hatkanagale added to it.
This train doesn't pass on Tunga river as at Harihar it passes over Tungabhadra river.
