Champakapuri Kshetram popularly known as Sampige is a small village in Turuvekere Taluk of Tumkur District in Karnataka. It is 120 Km from Bengaluru. The name of the place is due to Champaka trees which were found in this place in the ancient times.
Here an ancient Temple of Sri Srinivasa Perumal is situated which according to the Sthala puranam dates to Dwapara yuga. This place was the capital of King Sudhanva and he worshipped Lord Srinivasa. After his rule the place was under ruins. The idol of Lord Srinivasa was hidden in a Valmika (anthill) and Narada accompanied by the Gandharvas used to worship the deity every night.
A villager noticed a bright light in the Valmika (anthill) and to their astonishment found the Idol of Srinivasa Perumal in it. They built a temple as it is now in that place. Sri. Srinivasa Perumal is in the form of Shanka, Chakra, Gadhadari with Sharanagathi Hastha. Sri Champakapuri Srinivasa is the Haath Perumal (Kula Daivam) of many Hebbar Srivaishnavas.
