Located on the banks of the Krishna river, also called Uttaravahini - which flows northwards at Savadi, most of the population here is largely dependent on agriculture for its sustenance.

Historically being a belt of Jowar cultivation, with the recent irrigation projects near the village, from the past two decades, the chief crop has been sugarcane.

Savadi is closely located to many sugar industries of the Krishna basin, and is part of the major supplier belt of sugarcane in Athani Taluk, and consequently Belgaum district.

The painted motifs included a variety of designs and animals like fish, stork, dog, peacock, deer, etc.

Subsequently, though some Government officials have visited this long neglected ancient temple, including those from the archaeological department, no concrete measures have been taken to restore this monument of historic and cultural importance.

The annual fairs of the Sanganabasaweshwar Mutt, the Alab celebrated by Muslims, the week-long mud and milk festival of Lord Hanuman are all part and partial of Savadi's culture.

The annual fair in Darga, a neighbouring hamlet, consisting of about 50 houses, commemorating the death anniversary of a sufi saint, is by far the most happening event of the year for the locals.

The Dasara celebration where there is a generous exchange of sweets, and wishing of good luck among every villager deserves special mention.
