Sampige village is home to the Srinivasa Swamy Temple, which is known as "Sampige Srinivasa". Every year, the temple hosts a cart festival, which is attended by thousands of people. Several Kannada language films have been picturized at this location.^{[citation needed]}

The village is named after the Kannada word for the Champak tree, and was called Champakapuri in ancient times. Sampige Srinivasa is family deity of many Hebbar Srivaishnavas.^{[citation needed]}
