Temples in Gokarna

With its pristine beaches and breathtaking landscapes, Gokarna is a Hindu pilgrimage town in Karnataka and a newly found hub for beach lovers and hippies. However, its reputation as a temple-town stands for good reason. Folklore suggests that Gokarna is a town blessed by Lords Shiva and Vishnu. In order to disallow Ravana from taking the atmalingam and strengthening Lanka, it is believed that he was tricked en route in Gokarna. The temple tales of Gokarna have a lot to tell us about how and why.
