<br />
==Location==<br />
Bhagamandala is situated on the river [[Kaveri]] in its upstream stretches. At this place, the Kaveri is joined by two tributaries, the Kannike and the mythical Sujyothi river. It is considered sacred as a river confluence (''{{transl|kn|kudala}}'' or ''{{transl|sa|[[triveni sangam]]a}}'', in [[Kannada]] and [[Sanskrit]] respectively). Bhagamandala is located 133&nbsp;km south-east of [[Mangalore]]. It has an average elevation of {{convert|898|m|abbr=on}}.<ref name="bm-elevation">{{cite web |url=https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |title=Elevation of Bhagamandala |access-date=15 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190521043409/https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |archive-date=21 May 2019 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
==Pilgrim center – Bhagandeshwara Temple==<br />
It is a common practice for pilgrims to take a dip in the {{transl|sa|triveni sangama}} and perform rituals to their [[ancestor]]s before proceeding to [[Talakaveri]], the birthplace of [[Kaveri]]. <br />
A temple of Lord Supremo Shiva in the name of Bhagandeshwara embellishes the place. It is the local belief that Kaveri, revered as Dakshina Ganga, comes out of the matted hair locks of Shiva here.<br />
During Tula Sankramana which falls on 17 or 18 October, pilgrims assemble here in large numbers.<br />
<br />
==Three river meet==<br />
A short distance from the {{transl|sa|triveni sangama}}, there is a famous temple known as Sri Bhagandeshwara Temple, where ''[[murti]]'' (sacred images) of Bhagandeshwara ([[Ishwara]]), [[Murugan|Subramanya]] and [[Ganapati]] are installed. This place is also known as Bhagandeshwara Kshetra, from which the name Bhagamandala is derived. The temples in this area are built in Karavali (West Coast) style.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
During 1785–1790, the area was occupied by [[Tipu Sultan]].
