SRI KSHETRA KANTHAVARA

 Tuesday, 24 May 2022

Kanthavara, near Moodabidri, Karnataka

Lord Shiva in the form of SRI KANTHESHWARA is present in Kanthavara.




Kanthara means forest. It's about 40 km from Udupi, 15 km from Moodabidri and 45 km from Mangaluru.




Before 1969, there was no road, one has to go walking in the forest to reach the place. Now there is good road and temple is renovated and neat and clean.




During the stone age, people were living hills called Ambareesh Betta (Hill). Ambarisha Saint establshed the Shivalinga is being worshipped here.



Ballala of Baaradi Beedu is temple chief looking after temple.

Sri Kantheshwara Temple is situated in the middle of beautiful nature and surroundings




It is believed that Shivalinga changes its colour from silver in the morning, copper in the afternoon and golden in the evening.

We spent about an hour in the premises and left from there.
