[edit] Siddarama's Life He was a king of Sonnalige or Solapur. As part of Lingayat revolution in 12th century, he encouraged inter-caste marriages. He undertook many irrigation projects for the common good. He wrote many Vachanas. He saw devinity in every existence of the world. Shri Siddharameshwar was a historical figure of the 12th century whose "Karmayoga" on his own native land-Solapur, turned him into a God-figure over the course of time.There was a great saint Shri.Siddarama,who preached the teachings of Shri.Basaweshwara. A young girl, inspired by the teachings of this saint wished to marry the saint.

Siddharama was a great conributor to Lingayata religion and he is considered as one of the six prophets of Lingayat religion. He had gained the "Siddhi".

Requested move 19 January 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus: WP:NPASR, but it's probably best to include a counterargument to Dekimasu's stats if that's the route you choose to go down. (closed by non-admin page mover) SITH (talk) 14:18, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Siddheshwar → Siddarameshwara – Need to settle on one of the spelling variants here rather than attempt to accommodate them all in the article title. WP:NCUE indicates the "most common" should apply although that may be controversial to demonstrate. Some Indian English newspaper articles (The Hindu, The Times of India) use Siddarameshwara, so this may be as good a variant as any to settle on.

The stable title, Siddheshwar, has been reinstated per WP:RMUM. Discussion on whether another option is better can continue here, but please do not move the page again during the move request. Dekimasuよ! 21:12, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
