Ulavi is an important center of pilgrimage for people of the Lingayat faith.[2] The temple has been served by the trust of Kittur family for more than 200 years.[citation needed] 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.
