==Tourism==
River [[Tungabhadra]] flows through this village, branching into seven streams. There are also seven ''katte''s (platforms constructed of stones around a wide tree where a group of people sit for a chit-chat). The place is surrounded by more than a dozen hills.

On the bank of the river there is the [[vrindavana]] (''holy grave of Hindu saints, especially of those belonging to a matha or parampara(lineage)'') of [[Sri Vasudhendra teertha]] who is the great grandson of Sri [[Raghavendra Swami]]. The ''Raghavendra mutt'' of [[Mantralayam]] administers the vrindavana. This place attracts [[Brahmin]] tourists from all over Karnataka. Every year, on the sixth, seventh and eighth days ( namely ''shashthi, saptami and ashtami'') of the ''ashvayuja'' mãsa of the [[Hindu calendar]], the ''aãradhane'' (anniversary of the day on which the saint entered the vrindavana alive) of ''Sri Vasudhendra teertha'' swamy is held in kenchanagudda.

The river here is known for its scenery.{{fact|date=January 2019}} A song of the Kannada film ''[[Maanasa Sarovara]]'' titled ''Chanda Chanda'' was shot here.<ref name="Filmapia">[http://www.filmapia.com/films/movies/m/maanasa-sarovara website of Filmapia ] showing the locations of the film</ref> Remains of the era of [[Vijayanagara Empire]] are found around the village.
