Abstract: The paper concentrates on the Granulites of Kollegal area stated to have attained granulite facies metamorphism and the rocks themselves are called “Granulite materials required They are the result of high temperature and pressure acting on older rocks. Granulite is a coarse grained metamorphic rock formed at high temperatures and pressures The main lithological units that encompass the area are Granulites and they are strongly deformed and based on the field characters and petrography, it is inferred that these rocks are formed by metamorphism under granulite metamorphism followed by retrogression.

Keywords: Granulites, Charnockites.
