Dr Shankare Gowda no doubt, is a living legend in Mandya. Hailing from Shivanahalli taluk, he treats patients at his village in the morning and at his clinic in Mandya in the afternoon. While he charges Rs 5 for patients in Mandya, he treats patients free in his village. He is also an agriculturist, farming in his 6 acre plot of land and treats labourers who come to him free of cost.

Patients from faraway places come to visit Dr Gowda, not only because he charges only Rs 5 but for his good treatment. He treats all kinds of skin ailments and prescribes medicines that are not too costly.
Currently, Dr Gowda is the Mandya Zilla Panchayat vice-president. He was elected from Dudda panchayat constituency on a JD(S) ticket though he did not campaign or spend a rupee from his pocket
