Sri Mahabaleshwara Swami Temple Gokarna

Had a wonderful experience visiting this fabulous place. We can get the blend of spirituality and fun here. Water adventures and boating takes our trip to the next level of joy. Beautiful beaches filled with spirituality and fun. A great place for all age groups.

An old temple situating at near to a sea. The area was nice. A narrow road is leading us to parking area of temple,which is infront of the beach. The temple is now also in an old model and not rennovated anything,even boundary wall.

Famously known as Dakshina Kashi. But during peak hours or holidays, you won't get to see the temple properly in peace. Too much crowded. And even the road in front of temple that leads to beach is too crowded always. There used to be calmness earlier on. Now due to tourist attractions, the holiness is getting depleted. Just like how Kashi Vishwanath temple 's road that lead to river banks was cleaned up, it's high time that management, local authorities, government need to clean up the road in front that lead to sea, if you want to restore some holiness & serenity. I got to visit the temple in off hours where I couldn't go inside the main premises to see the idol, but could walk around in the outer premises. That was way peaceful enough.

1. No Foreigners are allowed.
2. Men are allowed with lungi as attire (no jeans, pants or shorts) - It can be bought outside from markets in around 70 bucks.
3. Women are allowed with traditional Indian attires like saree.
Also lines can be huge on peak days (It took me 1.5 hours in the line on Saturday)
