History & significance

A Shaiva hill shrine about 15 km from Ramanagara, important to the Virashaiva tradition, which venerates Revana Siddeshwara as a reincarnation of Jagadguru Renukacharya. Three temples occupy the hill: Revanasiddeshwara at the summit at about 935 m, Bheemeshwari midway and Renukamba at the base.

Sthala katha — the legend

Revana Siddeshwara is said to have emerged from the Somashekhara linga and to have practised austerities on this mountain before attaining lingaikya and passing to Kailasa.
