Legend says that in Mulbagal, the Kshetra palaka lord Hanuman temple was installed by Arjuna. After the Mahabharata war he came to know the power of the lord Hanuman on the flag which was tied to his chariot during the war. Later Arjuna went on a pilgrimage along with the Hanuman flag. On the way he installed the power of Hanuman on the flag in the form of idol in Mulbagal which was later known as 'Shathaka vatpuri'.
Narasimha Tirtha: It is about 2km from the Mulbagal town to the east on NH-4 road. This is a holy place where the Vrindavan of the great saint Sripadarajaru (1404-1502) is located. Sripadarajaru was born in Abburu in Chennapattana near Mysore of Karnataka state. He is said to be an incarnation of Dhruva. He was the guru of Sri Vyasaraya, the great saint and Rajaguru of the Vijayanagara Kingdom. According to legend he relieved the Vijayanagara king from the Brahmahatya pataka ( sin of kiiling brahmins). Sripadarajaru was a great scholar and poet. He composed many devotional songs in Kannada language. Some of his important compositions were
- Bhramaragita
- Venugita
- Gopigita
- Madhvanama
Some of the popular devotional songs in kannada with Rangavittala as signature (ankita), are
- Ne ittahange iruveno hariye...
- Kangalidyathako kaveri rangana nodada...
- Bhushanake Bhushana...
His disciple Vyasatirtha also composed many devotional songs praising his Guru.
There is a Yoga Narasimha temple near the vridavan of His holiness Sri Sripadarajaru. Here the Narasimha image is said to have drawn by Guru Akshobhyatheertharu using 'Angara' (the vertical black line worn on forehead daily) on a stone. Later it became 'Swayambhuvu'.
