This picturesque place is situated 16 km from Bhatkal.
Bounded by the shimmering sea and rolling hills, this place is a favourite
tourist spot. It is known for the gorgeous temple perched on a hillock by
the shore. The temple which embodies a Linga is believed to have erupted
when Ravana flung the cloth covering the Atmalinga at Gokarna while lifting
it. As one ascends the hillock, there is a shrine of Jattiga seated on a
horse. There is a huge fort behind the temple, said to have been renovated
by Tipu. The place can be visited all the year round.
