Singarasa was a local chieftain holding the title of Maha-Samantha (prince of a subjugated region), who had his headquarters at Arasikere, Hassan district, Karnataka, India, in the 12th century CE.^[1] He was a popular chieftain of his time, and several places in Karnataka are named after him, for example Singatagere (Arasikere taluk), Singanamane (Bhadravathi taluk), Singanagadde (N.R. Pura taluk) and Singasandra. Several chieftains with the same or similar names ruled various parts of Karnataka from the 10th century CE onwards.^[2]
