Anthargange got its name from a pond within the Kashi Vishweshwara temple premise. No one is really sure where the pond gets its water. So, the locals believe that the pond gets its water from the “Ganges from Deep” or Anthargange. The temple lies amidst lush greenery and offers picturesque views.

Situated in the village of Kammasandra, Kotilingeshwara temple, is known for housing more than ten million (Koti) Shiva Lingas within its premises, and that has earned the temple its name.
