It is situated on the hill near Shanthisagara Lake (Sulekere) which is the second largest lake in Continent located of Chengiri taluk of Davangere district of Karanataka.
Once upon a time in a village, farmer decided to commit suicide in Shanthisagara lake. During that instance a bright light appeared on the mid of hill and seemed that someone called him towards the hill, he started to move towards the hill. There, he saw snake burrow (nest), in that a wise man was talking with old beard person. The farmer in shock, moved forward to talk with the old beard person regarding his suicide and explained his problems. The beard man consoled him, not to worry about all his problems and asked him to leave. After few days, farmer’s all problems were solved and he lived peacefully and happily.
A devotee by Siddanayaka from the near village of Shanthisagar lake used to perform prayers to the Lord Krishna’s idol above the snake’s nest every day. One night some thieves planned to stole the idol. The idol moved inside the nest without allowing it to be touched by the thief. Later, in the dream of the devotee Siddanayaka, Lord Krishna instructed to place a similar kind of Lord Krishna’s idol in the same place. Now-a-days, more devotees are coming to the temple with their prayers and wishes to fulfil.
