'''Reṇukācārya''' (also known as '''Revaṇārādhya''' or '''Revaṇasiddha''') was one of the five [[acharya]]s who came in the [[Kali Yuga]] to teach and preach Vīraśaivism. He is said to have been born from the Someśvara linga, but to have travelled all over India to teach Vīraśaivism. The Someśvara temples are located in Kollipāki or Kolanupaka in [[Aler]] City, [[Yadadri district]], [[Telangana]], [[India]]. 
 
Texts date this mythical saint to the time of the Rāmāyaṇa since he was the teacher of the great sage Agastya of Pañcāvati.  This saint is said to have consecrated 30 million liṇgas at the behest of Rāvaṇā's brother, Vibhīṣaṇa, after Rāvaṇa's death.
 
He finally established the Rambhāpuri maṭha at [[Balehonnur]],  a village in Narasimharajapura taluk, Chikkamagaluru district in the Indian state of Karnataka. The Reṇuka gotra of the Vīraśaivas is named after him.<ref>{{Cite book|title=A handbook of Vīraśaivism|last=Nandimath|first=S.C.|publisher=L.E. Association|year=1942|location=Dharwar, S.
