Kudali, also spelled Koodli, is a small historic village located in the Shimoga District of Karnataka, India. Situated at an elevation of approximately 1,200 metres (3,937 ft), the village sits at the sangam, or confluence, of the Tunga and Bhadra rivers. These two rivers meet at this location to form the Tungabhadra River, which serves as a tributary of the Krishna River.
Historically, Kudali was a significantly larger town and an important pilgrimage center prior to the 14th century before it was destroyed during Islamic conquests in southern India. The surrounding valleys are known for hosting numerous architectural sites and temple ruins. Notable religious structures in the area include the Sharadamba temple, the Sangamesvara temple, the Ramesvara temple, and the Sri Chintamani Narasimha temple.
The village also houses several significant spiritual institutions, such as the Kudali Matha, which is a branch of the Jagadguru Sri Shankaracharya Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada Peetham. Other identified sites include the Sringeri Vediki temple, Vishwakarma temple, Amma Devasthana, Brahmeswara temple, and the Shree Madhvacharya Kudli Arya Akshobhya Tirtha Matha. Scattered ruins of various unidentified temples are also found throughout the vicinity.
