About About the place

The Badavi Linga is a significant religious site featuring a large, single-stone Shiva Linga. It is situated adjacent to the Ugra Narasimha shrine, creating a unique and historically rich location. The Linga is consistently surrounded by water sourced from the Tungabhadra River, and local folklore attributes its creation to a humble woman during the Vijayanagara reign. Informational boards are present to provide context and history to visitors. The structure housing the Linga is constructed from stone and brick mortar, with a circular pedestal and the traditional three-eye mark on the central median line.
