A. Belaguli(Kannada: ಅಗ್ರಹಾರ ಬೆಳಗುಲಿ, ?)is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India.[1][2]. It is an enchanting hamlet situated about 25 kms from Channarayapattana in Hassan district. The prefix Agrahara indicates that the village housed a large number of Brahmin Scholar families who were said to have been performing the Shatkarmas(adhyayana-adhyaapana,yajana-yaajana,daana-pratigrahaNa). But now it has reduced to a meagre 3-4 families.
