Ulavi is an important center of pilgrimage for people of the Lingayat faith.[2] The temple has been served by the trust of Kittur family for more than 200 years.[citation needed] The Samadhi of Channabasavanna, one of the most revered saints of the Lingayat faith, lies here. In the 12th century, Channabasavanna traveled from Kalyana to Ulavi before he died.
