: ''Not to be confused with the town in Gadag'' Savadi is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India.〔Village code= 20700 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Census of India : Villages with population 5000 & above )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yahoomaps India : Savadi, Belgaum, Karnataka )〕 It is located in the Athani taluk of Belgaum district. Located on the banks of the Krishna river, also called Uttaravahini - which flows northwards at Savadi, most of the population here is largely dependent on agriculture for its sustenance. Animals domesticated are buffaloes, goats, dogs, horse, bullocks, sheep and fowl. Historically being a belt of Jowar cultivation, with the recent irrigation projects near the village, from the past two decades, the chief crop has been sugarcane. Savadi is closely located to many sugar industries of the Krishna basin, and is part of the major supplier belt of sugarcane in Athani Taluk, and consequently Belgaum district. ==History== Savadi is one of those place in South India, that traces back its history to the Neolithic age. Earliest painted pottery has been found in the tract between Savadi and Satti. In the Krishna basin, wheel-turned grey and red-wares are found, but only in small numbers. The painted pottery was painted in black, and in some cases thin white colour was used. The painted motifs included a variety of designs and animals like fish, stork, dog, peacock, deer, etc. Designs were also engraved in relievo. Unwritten lore says that Savadi was the hermitage of a sage named Saudagnya, who performed his penance here; hence the name. The village mosque stands tall and strong from the era of the Adil Shahi of Bijapur. The Gopalakrishna temple, that lies close to the river bank, is an ancient temple built in the Chalukyan style of architecture. The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Gopalkrishna also known as Venugopal. It is a typical trikuteshwar style temple housing two magnificent shiv Lingas. The temple has fallen on bad days chiefly because of the utter neglect by the villagers who use the premises of this holy place for answering to their natural call. Some anti social elements had dug the base of shiv Lingas and the Gopal Krishna statue. Later on the statue of Lord Gopalkrishna was stolen which was found out later and has been kept in Vithal mandir in the village. It is a pity that the locals are chiefly responsible for the crumbling state of the temple. Though some Government official have visited the temple including those from the Archiological department, no action is taken by the Government in restoring glory of the temple.More relics of the same temple can be found embedded in the steps of the ghats connecting the riverbank to the village. Minor temples on the ghat and the Uttareshwara temple that lies in the river bed and becomes visible only in the dry summers, are also vital clues to the history of the region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Savadi, Belgaum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
