It is situated about 25 km from Channarayapattana in Hassan district. The prefix Agrahara indicates that the village housed a large number of Brahmin Scholar families who were said to have been performing the Shatkarmas (adhyayana-adhyaapana, yajana-yaajana, daana-pratigrahaNa). But now it has reduced to a meagre 3-4 families.
