Located on the banks of Tunga River, the fertile land of Shimoga had been a coveted booty for most of the great kingdoms of Karnataka. The name of the city is derived from the term Shiva-Mukha, meaning Face of
Shiva. Throughout its history Shimoga had played host to most of the great kingdoms of South India including the Kadambas .
Due to the copious agriculture production, Shimoga is known by the sobriquet 'the rice bowl of Karnataka.' The meandering streams originating from the Western Ghats and the numerous lakes, ponds and water bodies make the Shimoga land very suitable for agriculture.
