Savandurga is a hill 60 km west of Bengaluru, Karnataka, off the Magadi road in India.

The earliest record of the name of the hill is from 1340 AD by Hoysala Ballala III from Madabalu where it is called Savandi.

Another view is that the name originates from Samantadurga, attributed to a Samantharaya, a governor under Ahchutaraya at Magadi, although there is no inscription confirming this.

The principal local deity is Sri Savandi Veerabhadraswamy Virabhadra, a temple to whom is situated at the foot of the Savandurga hill.

The lord Veerabhadraswamy has followers across the south Karnataka districts like Bangalore, Ramanagara, Tumkur and Mysore.

Some of the routes have long runouts, and most of them face south or are exposed to the south-east, so that when the sun comes up, the rock becomes quite hot.
