Devagange, Nagara town, near Shivamogga
It features 7 pools and a Shiva temple. The largest pool is fed by water from the hills, and the overflow is directed to the other 6 smaller pools. The water level in the largest pool remains constant even in peak summer.
Devagange was constructed by Shivappa Nayaka of the Keladi dynasty some 400 years ago. The pools were supposedly built to be used by queens.
