This should not be confused with the similarly spelled Kalkeri village in [Haveri district](/source/Haveri_district), about 20 kilometers southwest from Haveri, with two important Hoysala era temples – Someshwara temple (trikuta) and Basaveshwara temple (chaturkuta).[{{cite book| author1=Madhusudan A.
