Kudalasangama

 

Basavanna was a 12th century Kannada poet, social reformer and saint who was under the patronage of King Bijjala I in Karnataka. Basavanna was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and his revolutionary movement gave rise to Veerashaivism (Lingayat community) in South India. Koodalasangama or Kudalasangama is a place where Basavanna spent his childhood and died. Hence, it is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Lingayats or the followers of Veerashaivism.
