Bankikodla and Hanehalli[1][2] are the twin neighbouring villages in a valley in Uttara Kannada district in the Indian state of Karnataka.
Just to the north of the village, the Gangavalli River joins the Arabian Sea. The town of Gokarna is just to the south of the village. The surrounding Sahyadri Mountains hug the Arabian sea with open fields providing recreational opportunities for the locals. It has creeks and shallow ponds and bridges, which are vulnerable in the rainy seasons. For religious or spiritual people, there are temples, church and a Masjid to worship in.
During British rule in India, the Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins built Anandashram High School (1884) for their children, but a majority of them eventually moved out to Mumbai. The younger population is now moving out of the village and the older generations, especially the retired communities, have started coming back to the village.
