Dharmasthala Temple, Hindu temple in Dakshina Kannada district, India.
The temple complex encompasses shrines dedicated to Lord Manjunatha, with multiple halls and structures spread across the lower slopes of Western Ghats.
Established over 800 years ago, the temple was reconsecrated in the 16th century by Dvaita saint Vadiraja Tirtha at the request of administrator Devaraja Heggade.
The Manjusha Museum within the temple grounds preserves ancient palm leaf manuscripts, traditional silver jewelry, and religious sculptures from different periods.
The temple provides free accommodation and meals to all visitors, with direct transportation connections from Mangaluru International Airport, located 82 kilometers away.
The temple demonstrates religious harmony through its administration by a Jain family while Madhwa Brahmin priests conduct Hindu rituals for Lord Shiva.
