== Geography ==
The village is surrounded on three sides by the backwaters of Linganamakki dam, formed by the [[Sharavathi|Sharavathi River]].

Sigandur is about 40 km from its taluk headquarters, Sagara town. Sigandur was cut off from Sagar once the reservoir on [[Sharavathi|Sharavathi River]] was constructed. Two barges carry vehicles, tourists, pilgrims and locals.

Sigandur is surrounded by water on three sides and connected by road on one side, which can be reached via Kollur and Nagodi. Barge is the major means of transport.<ref name="crowd" />

==Sigandur Chowdeshwari Temple==
Shree Choudeshwari Temple is named Sigandur. Shree Devi kshethra was built in the 18th century. Sigandur kshethra is near Thumari, 42 km from Sagar town. Mother Choudeshwari is called “Sigandureshwari”.

Shri choudamma Devi has strength to proceed the fear of thieves. The devotees who carry on benedicts will live happily without any fear of thieves. If any theft takes place in the home of these devotees, Devi punishes them.

No other kshethra protects peo and their belongings from thieves. This is managed by the board “Shri Deviya Rakshane Ide”. If a thief steals from the place where the board is kept the thief will face several problems. Varadali Bhagavan Shri Sridharaswamy once visited Sigandur. His Highness Shri Sridharaswamy prayed to the goddess to bless devotees with her ''sowmyaswaroopa''. On the right side of the temple “Bhoothada Katte” is written. Lord [[Virabhadra|Veerabhadra]] guards the Kshethra. On the left side Shri Shaneshwara and Shri Raktheshwari Temple are found.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sigandureshwari.com/HomeEN.html|title=Shree Sigandur Kshethra|website=www.sigandureshwari.com|access-date=2019-04-07}}</ref>

The temple is managed by the temple committee, and Holekoppa Ramappa was committee secretary as of 2013.
