It is said that Tirumakudalu is where Rishi Agasthiya had visualised it as 'Dakshina Kashi' long ago.
The Someshwara and Markandeshwara lingams in T Narsipur and the Gargeshwara Lingam at Gargeshwari village, along with the Agasthyeshwara and the Hanuman lingam, form the panchalingas of T Narsipur, just like the five lingams at Talakad.
