Chidambara Mahaswamiji performed mahapooja of Shri Renuka devi. At that time Shri. Chidambara Mahaswamiji said, “This area is very good. Malaprabha river is also auspicious”. Mahaswamiji liked the area is very much. After hearing this, the King planned to build a village there. Then Shri. Chidambara Mahaswamiji went to Murugod (Amar Kalyan).

Here the King along with Shri. Chidambara Mahaswamiji's son Diwakar, started to build a new village. As the King himself was interested in the work, the village was built very quickly.
