Located on the banks of Bhima in the taluk of Chitapur, Gulbarga, Sannati is a popular attraction; Sannati is popular for its Chandrala Parameshwari Temple complex and the archaeological excavations that date back to emperor Ashoka's rule.
The idol of Goddess Kali was destroyed in the year 1986 when the complex collapsed and that revealed the inscriptions written in Prakrit and Brahmi language that belonged to the emperor Ashoka. The excavations included the clay pendants, black polished pottery, coins that belonged to the Satavahana and pre-Satavahana eras and these things are preserved in the Gulbarga Museum.
Sannati is also known for its Chandrala Parameshwari Temple; it is believed that the goddess appeared on the banks of the river Bhima to save a devotee from the clutches of a wicked king. Legend also says that Sannati is the place where the sage Markandeya composed parts of Markandeya Upanishad.
