Gateway to the Western Ghats’ Sacred Past
Sagara sits at the threshold of the Western Ghats, blending natural beauty with historic depth. The nearby Ikkeri Temple, dedicated to Lord Aghoreshwara, is a striking example of Nayaka architecture. The region was once the stronghold of the Keladi Nayakas, whose influence shaped much of the art, administration, and spirituality of this area.
Sagara’s charm lies in its layered landscapes — serene lakes, sacred groves, and old forts nestled within thick forests. The town is also a base for exploring nearby attractions like Jog Falls and the temples of Keladi and Ikkeri, making it a perfect blend of heritage and natural wonder.
