The Bangalore district gazetteer<\/span><\/a> documents the birthplace as Basavanagudi. A report by the Indian Institute of Science<\/a><\/span> (2017), first says the river originates at Bull temple, a small hillock next to Dodda Ganapathi Temple in Basavanagudi. Then it goes on to say that the river originates near Sankey tank, Sadashivanagara. Then again, for the third time, the Indian Institute of Science report says the river originates at Nandi temple in Basavanagudi, creating immense confusion.<\/big><\/p>\u00a0<\/p>

The Central Pollution Control Board report<\/span><\/a> (2019) says the river originates in the suburbs of Yeshwanthpura, Peenya.

The natural topography of the Malleswaram area, analyzed using geospatial tools and field investigations, showed that the stream overflowing from the Sankey Tank flows around the temple area.\u00a0 We couldn’t find the headwater streams, as they are all covered, concretized, and converted into wastewater drains. Just a few meters from the temple, we spotted the concretized open river channel carrying wastewater. (It had just rained and thus clear waters)<\/big><\/p>
