History : During the early thirties, in search of their livelihood, the families of Narsimha Pai, Santappa Pai, Narayana Kamath, Haradi Srinivas Kamath and Kogga Kamath arrived at this village. After settling down they thought of starting a "Bhajana Mandali", at Santappa Pai and Srinivas Pai's residence. Keeping a photo of Shri Rama Panchayat Bhajan sessions were held during the
"Kartika Masa".
In the locality there was a poor man called Vittal Devali, who lived on alms given by G.S.Bs. The poor man died leaving some savings. It was his last wish that his savings should be used for a religious cause. This inspired the G.S.Bs. to have a temple. Shri Venkatramana Pai donated 10 cents of land and thus a temple was built up.
