Hey!! Know about my city😊

Hello guys it's @makeitpossible... I just want to post something new then I got an Idea to post about my city..shivmoga.

Well let's start from History .
The shivmoga people say the story that the lord Shiva drank Thunga River water using mogge which means sweet pot in Kannada sihi mogge.
So the city name is calling as shivmoga,but now a days calling as Shimoga.

Many kings ruled this shivmoga during 3rd century mayuran empires ruled this place ,kadambas,chalukyas,Rastrakutas,vijayanagara empirers,hoysalas,Haider Ali and so many kings ruled this place.

According to 2011 servey the population of this city is 17.6 lakhs . Shimoga is divided into seven taluks

Shivmoga is also called as malenadu (malnad which means hills land and also rain land) during rainy season the view of some of places in Shimoga is so beautiful ,so that why Shimoga called as malnad.

Shimoga is a greeny city which as so many tourist places

• jogfalls
• Kodchadri Hills
• Bhadra dam
• Linganmuki dam
• Kavale Durga fort
• Sakre bayalu elegant sanctuary
• kundadri temple and mountain

These are the some tourist places in Shimoga.

I will explain some places only in this post..
