Temples

Built in the 17th century AD by a local leader named Timmappa, this is an underground temple to Aanjaneya (Hanuman). A marvelous architectural monument, it also has a Kalyani (well) built in front of the Hanuman deity. This temple is situated adjacent to Koppal Road on the southern side of the Taluqa Headquarters. Timmappa also planted many Tamarind trees and these have now become huge. One can see many of them today around the temple, which area is therefore known as Timmappana Topu (Timmappa's tree plantation). There are Nadugannada (medieval Kannada) scripts engraved on the pillars, detailing the events of the time. On Ugadi Day, a Car Festival is celebrated by the people of the town.
