The town is centred around a large man-made lake created by damming the Palar river.

The lake supplies drinking water to the nearby mining city of Kolar Gold Fields ("KGF").

Villagers also joined hands for the renovation of this temple which is popularly known as Sri Ram Mandir of this region.

Recently renovated Lord Venkateshwara Temple in Mahadevapura Village is located close to the town.
