The Legend of Thirthahalli
Sage Jamadagni instructed his son Parashurama to chop off the head of his wife Renukadevi. Parashurama obeyed his father's instruction and chopped off his mothers head using his axe. The bloodstains remained on the axe and Parashurama tried to wash his axe by dipping the axe into various rivers. However, sesame-sized (sesame means Yellu in the Kannada language) bloodstain remained on his axe even after dipping into various rivers. Finally, the sesame-sized bloodstains were washed away after dipping his axe in River Tunga. Since blood stains were completely removed at this place, this place was named Thirthahalli (Thirtha means Holy water and Halli means Village).

It is believed that a holy dip in River Tunga at Thirthahalli will cure one of all sins.
