==Legend==
Legend has it that Balligavi was the capital of an ''Asura'' king (demon) and hence was called ''Balipura'' (city of Bali). The Pandavas came here while on their ''Vanavasa'' (forest sojourn) and installed the ''Panchalinga'' (five ''lingas''); hence the name Panchalingeswara to the well known temple here. ''Linga'' is the universal symbol of Shiva. Archaeologically, Balligavi dates from the Satavahana-Kadamba era and the ''Chaturmukha'' ''linga'' (four faced ''linga'') here is in that style. The earliest inscription mentioning the name Balligavi is a 685 CE Badami Chalukya inscription.〔
