Shri Sangameshwar Temple, Chikkasangam - Hindu temple in Honnihal - Bagalkote, India

The meeting points of rivers Ghataprabha and Krishna is called chikka sangama. There's was a Lord Shiva temple built at this junction many decades ago calledas Sangamanatha or Sangameshwara. After almatti dam was constructed this temple got submerged in backwaters. Hence a new temple was constructed with punar pratishtapana of lord sangameshwara. This temple is the same rebuilt temple. Temple Premises is large neat and clean. Sangamanatha prasada lunch is given on amavasya days, check with temple priest if you visit on that day. Usually not crowded on other days - you can go here with lunch or snacks packed from home. Plenty of space available to sit and have food for groups. No hotels or eateries available at this location - hence plan your visit keeping this in mind.

Best place to hangout for short ride with friends has river side and a big temple good to go on low clam sunny day

Amazing place we went in morning 9 there was no person literally so much peace and silence best place to visit even the backwaters is amazing totally best place for refreshing mind

Peaceful temple, not many people around. Must visit at least once.

Plan for one day picnic, beautiful back water, clean place to sit and relax with family. It has limited shops so carry all you need. There is no hotel or lodge facility so plan your return as you have gone, there is no public transport or petrol station nearby. It's a remote place so don't expect that you will get what ever you need.
