Sri Sharanabasaveshwara Temple is Veerashaiva memorial. The temple is credited with introducing Dasoha sanskriti in the Kalaburagi region. Sharanabasaveshwara of Kalaburagi was a prominent Lingayat saint, Dasohi and philosopher of the 18th century. He was born in 1746 to Malakappa and Sangamma at Aralagundagi village in Jewargi taluk of Kalaburagi district. The temple was built on the tomb of Sri Sharanabasaveshwara after the Lingayats in 1822 AD. He continued the Dasoha tradition of the Sharanas of Kalyana in Kalaburagi and settled in the house of Adi Doddappa and Neelamma. Sharanabasaveshwara, preaching the principles of ‘Kayakave Kailasa’ and ‘Dasoha’, giving Dasoha to the poor, is reaching his devotees even today through the Sharanabasaveshwara temple. The temple will have a tall spire with beautiful architecture and the gold plating work on the spire is in progress which will be exciting to offer.
