Dodda sampige is located four kilometres away from B.R. Hills. One has to take the road to Chamarajanagar from B.R. Hills to reach Dodda sampige. It is one of the most interesting places around this area. The approach to this place is rather difficult. This is because of an irregular forest route. There is a deep valley through which a pathway leads to the Attikan estate (a private estate). Here flows a large stream named Bhargavi, a tributary of the Cauvery. This stream is known as an incarnation of Renuka, wife of Jamadagni, in the form of a river. Jamadagni is one of the most revered sages in Hindu mythology. The couple, Jamadagni and Renuka are believed to have lived here.

There are a large number of Champaka trees huddled together covering the area with a thick shadow. Near this group of trees to the east of the riverbank stands a gigantic champaka tree. It is 34 meters in height and the girth of trunk measures about 20 meters. The most amazing fact of this tree is that it is 2000 years old. Even today, the tree bears usual flowers of both red and yellow colour during April. On the east side of the platform around this tree are more than the 100 Lingas, which are worshipped by pilgrims who come here.
