About
Discover the mystical allure of Sri Sogala Someshwara Swami Gudi, a hidden gem nestled on a hill range in Belagavi district, just 16 kilometers from Bailhongal town. At the heart of Sogal lies the magnificent Someshwara Temple, a testament to ancient craftsmanship dating back to Rashtrakuta times. The inner sanctum beckons with an intricately carved doorway and pierced windows, while the main hall boasts a symphony of square, cylindrical, and octagonal pillars. The temple exudes serenity, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle, complemented by a tranquil waterfall that adds to the enchantment. Legend intertwines with history in the tales of Someshwara Temple's origins. According to one story, King Jayappa Gowda, during a fateful hunting trip, received a divine vision urging him to unearth a Shiva Linga and hidden treasure. This led to the construction of a wooden temple, a testament to the mystical encounters that shape the temple's narrative.
