Gubbi, Town panchayat in Tumkur District, Karnataka, India

Located at an elevation of 766 meters, Gubbi spreads across 6.67 square kilometers with seventeen administrative wards along National Highway 206.

The town originated in the 16th century when a Nonaba Vokkaliga chief established a settlement that later grew into a regional administrative center.

The Channabasaveshwara Swamy Temple and Chidambarashrama spiritual center maintain strong connections to Veerashaiva traditions and local religious practices.

The town functions as a trading center with direct road connections to Tumakuru, situated 20 kilometers away, and Bengaluru at 90 kilometers distance.

According to local narratives, the town received its name when two sparrows fell after listening to a Virashaiva saint's spiritual discourse.
