==History== The name Arasikere originates from one of the princesses of the Hoysala dynasty, who built a lake (kere in Kannada) near the town. Arasi means queen in Kannada. Therefore, it is 'Arasiya+kere' which means "queen's pond". Arasikere was also called Udbhava Sarvagna Vijaya and Ballālapura at various times.
