Ulavi

Ulavi

Ulavi is a town about 75 km from Karwar (via Kumbarawada) in Karnataka state, India. It is an important center of pilgrimage for people of the Lingayat faith. The "Samadhi" of Channabasavanna, one of the most revered saints of the Lingayat faith lies here. In the 12th century, Channabasavanna traveled from Kalyana to Ulavi before he died. Very close to this holy "Samadhi" is the "Akka Nagalambike" cave named after Nagalambike, Channabasavanna's mother and Basavanna's sister. The Ulavi "jathre" or congregations attracts pilgrims from all over Karnataka.
