Uduthadi AKka Mahadevi temple, statue & park

Sep 2024 revisit: A large statue of Akka Mahadevi is now visible from the road. A cave like structure is also made under it.

Udugani (also referred to as Udutadi) is birth place of 12th century Kannada female poet, Akka Mahadevi.

Akka Mahadevi had written lots of vachanas or phrases of social messaging.  Recently I happened to pass through Udugani near Shivamogga and diverted to visit Akka Mahadevi temple and park.

Temple was not open but the park was. It had a tall bronze statue of akka mahadevi and her various quotes carved out. 

Some mega canal work seem to be going on near Akka Mahadevi's birth place.

Temple is just half a km away from main road. Turn where you see this sign.
