    This is a beautiful temple with great architecture. Looks amazing and is very sophisticated. The main pooja happens during the day at 12 and evenings at 7. They do serve anna dhanam, please enquire with the temple officials... It is pretty hot during the day and the tiles getting heated quickly however being a temple we can't wear any footwear so best to avoid afternoons if your visiting with sick individuals, have infants or have older people visiting the place along with you!

    On 31st May, myself with my son & parents got to visit Khadri Manjunatha temple from Sri Ramakrishna Mutt, Mangalore.

    Khadri Manjunatha is one of the ancient temple, which belongs to the Vijayanagara style of structure. This temple is located just 4 km, distance from the heart of the Mangalore city.

    The temple has various statues of Gokarnatha, Machendranath, Shringinath, Manjushri, Lokeshwara and even Buddha apart from Lord Manjunatha. We need to climb few steps, where we can see 7 rivers & can do Abhishegam for the Shiv Lingam placed there.

    Had a blissful evening at the temple !!

    Ever since my college days in this city, I have always been visiting the temple. This temple provides anna danam all days of the year. Also please do not miss to meet MAHALAKSHMI, the beautiful and elegant majestic elephant of the temple. Whenever feeling low or high, happy or sad, I used to visit the temple to seek Durga Parameshwari amma's blessing.

    Very nice and clean beach. We went to Tippu Sultan's Sultan battery watch tower on the banks of Gurupur river. Took a boat to cross the river and walked down for five minutes to the beach.

    It is a must see, the frescos are comparable to any where in the world, better to get someone to guide you like the caretaker because there is a lot that needs to be explained.

    It is a division place and must visit. Since Mangalore is named after Mangla Devi, it is only natural that one should offer prayer there.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Even though we visited at the odd time of the year when not as many species of butterflies are spotted as during July - Aug, the host was very welcoming and gave us the best experience with his comprehensive knowledge and passion for butterflies. It was fascinating to know each and every fact. We would definitely come back in the right season to learn more.

    One of the beaches which has rocks on the shore and sea as well! A quiet and less crowded beach is there for enjoyment... evenings are the best time to visit. It can get lonely at dusk and hence best to leave, with respect to safety.

    On 31st May'23, myself along with my parents & son got to visit Sri Sharavu Maha Ganapathy temple from Sri Ramakrishna Mutt.

    Sri Sharavu Maha Ganapathy temple is well acclaimed as one of the most popular temples of southern part of India. The presiding deities of the temple are Lord Ganesha & Shiva.

    The Shivlinga has been worshipped by the Maharaja as Sharabeswara, The sacred place is therefore named as Sharavu. We had very good dharshan at the temple.

    Most Blessed evening at Sri Sharavu Maha Ganapathi temple.

    Very well kept for tourists to view the inside of the lighthouse and get atop for a 360 degrees of the seawaters. The adjoining navy museum too is informative.
