📜 Divine History & Legend
Sri Sharanabasaveshwara was a prominent 19th-century Lingayat saint, philosopher, and social reformer who practiced 'Dasoha' (selfless feeding and sharing) and 'Kayaka' (work is worship). When he attained Samadhi in 1822, his shrine became a major center of pilgrimage. The annual Jatra commemorates his life, and the pulling of the giant wooden chariot (Rathotsava) symbolizes the elevation of the soul towards divine consciousness.
