Sahasralinga, Sacred Hindu site in Uttara Kannada District, India
The Sahasralinga site features hundreds of stone lingas carved into the rocks along the banks of the Shalmala River in Karnataka.
The lingas were carved during the reign of King Sadashivaraya of Sirsi, who commissioned this project while seeking an heir to his throne.
Hindu pilgrims gather at Sahasralinga during Shivaratri festival to perform rituals and offer prayers at the riverside stone formations.
Visitors can access the carved lingas when water levels are low, with accommodation options available in the nearby town of Sirsi.
Each of the hundred stone lingas includes a carved Nandi bull figure positioned in front, creating patterns across the river rocks.
