aj College - The majestic stone masonary structure designed in European style with landscape garden to its grace not only echoes the glorious history of the college but also provides an ideal setting of academic pursuits. Every brick and every room of Lingaraj College is an amalgamation of the values of Truth, Love, Service and Sacrifice' - ideology that the K. L. E. Society stands for. For those who have not heard of or seen Lingaraj College, an interesting experience awaits them when they come and see it. It is this experience that gives the learners in the college, a rare joy which they can hardly forget. Such a compulsion, perhaps, made the people unofficially crown Lingaraj College as the mother of colleges in North Karnataka.
Every stone and brick that is used in the monumental building tell the tale of the founders who sacrificed their self-interest in the true tradition of K.L.E. Society. The great souls of Saptarishis and the three patrons, the founders of the K.L.E.
