Overview
The deity of Vishnu is worshipped at the holy Sri Sampige Srinivasa Temple located at Tumkur in Turuvekere, Karnataka. This temple is situated in a small village of Champakapuri Kshetram which is also known as Sampige due to the Champaka trees. There is another ancient temple built nearby called the Sri Srinivasa Perumal which dates back to the Dwapara Yuga. This place was once ruled by King Sudhava who is known to be a devotee of God Srinivasa. This place was under ruins during his era. The deity of God Srinivasa was buried in a Valmika and Gandharvas as well as Narada worshipped this deity every day. After a while, a local villager found the deity of God Srinivasa Perumal after seeing a bright light near Valmika. This temple was then built at this place and the deity of God Srinivasa Perumal was enshrined in the temple as God Shanka, God Chakra, God Sharanagathi Hastha and God Gadhadari.
