later Krishnaraja Wadiyar II gave this village as a grant to the Sringeri Matha.

Main presiding deity is veeranaryana along with yoga narasimha and kolalu gopala.

On 23 March (when day and night are of 12 hours each) every year sun light directly enters the sanctum sanctorum of Veeranarayana temple.
