History
Banavasi is one of the oldest towns in the Karnataka state.[1] It has grown up around the Madhukeshwara Temple built in the 5th century and dedicated to Shiva[2] the supreme God in Shaivism, a major branch of Hinduism.
5th-century copper coin was discovered here with an inscription in the Kannada script, one of the oldest such coins ever discovered.[3]
Adikavi Pampa, the first poet of Kannada, wrote his epics in Banavasi.
The town once was the capital of the Kadamba rulers, an ancient royal dynasty of Karnataka.[4] They established themselves there in A.D. 345 and ruled South India for at least two centuries.[5]
