Mahabaleshwar Temple, Hindu temple in Gokarna, India
The Mahabaleshwar Temple contains a 6-foot Shiva Lingam made of white granite and exhibits traditional Dravidian architectural features in its structure.
Established between 345-365 CE by Mayurasharma of the Kadamba dynasty, this temple stands as one of the oldest religious structures in Karnataka.
The temple complex maintains strict dress codes and traditional practices, requiring visitors to bathe at Karwar Beach before entering the sacred space.
The temple opens daily in two shifts from 6 AM to noon and 5 PM to 8 PM, with main prayers conducted during morning and evening hours.
The sacred Atmalinga within the temple becomes visible to devotees only once every 40 years, making it an extraordinary religious phenomenon.
