According to historical evidences, people say that Sri mahadeshwara swami lived there and he used Tiger 'huli vahana' as his vehicle. Mahadeswara swami Travelled through the hills and the surroundings areas, and by his yogi powers has displayed his various miracles and solved many problem of peop.
His miracles are best told by local village people in form of Sri mahadeswara swami janapada songs and many are famous all over karnataka.
Who havent listen to the famous song..."Maadeswara daya baarade, baridada baalalli barabaarade.."!!
It is still belived that Mahadeswara swami who came to perform atonement and is still living in garbha gudi in the form of Linga
Kamsale nrutya is dedicated to Lord Mahadeswara in the temple and its very nice to watch the performances during any festival times.
Apart from whatever piligrim image it has, ride to the MM Hills is a awesome road trip experience with the Hilly greenaries welcoming us and the pleasant nature. One who loves long pleasant and peaceful long drive can consider this also as one among their destination place
During Shivaratri and other festivals:
During Shivaratri, Mahalaya amavasya festivals Temple will be very crowed as many local and around people come to worship god there and big fair will be conducted. It is feast for eyes to watch the celebration during those festivals and one must not forget also that it will be over crowded.
One can witness the unique, regional celebrations here and can witness the people's believes on God Shiva.

During festival time, many local people come to the temple walking with bare footed from hundreds of kilometer far villages, carrying the bag with food and necessary items on their head. they will be so devoted people who doesnt care about hot sun, and any obstacles in the roads. We happen to many people who were walking bare footed and they never feel tired/and it has become their custom or ritual for some of them
Forest is assumed to have wild animals like elephants, deers, wild pigs and Tigers too.
Now I dont know if any people witnessed seeing any animal,but we have watched many moneys welcoming us whole through the Hill and in the temple.
and many small hills like 'Nagamale' are also piligrim places but have to trek to reach to that places.
and need to take local Tribal people help for travel guidance and if at all want to stay that night there.
MM Hills Forest: has many small hills in the folk songs they say there is around 77 small hills in there(they say 77 male in kannada)..and its dry forest and the area itself is too hot compared to any hilly places and forest because its located at equal level compared to sea level.
