Hotels Near Kadri Manjunatha Temple
Mangalore, Karnataka, India
Kadri Manjunatha Temple is a highly revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, here worshipped as Manjunatha. Situated atop the scenic Kadri Hill, this temple holds immense historical and spiritual significance, being one of the oldest in the region, with its origins dating back to the 10th-11th centuries A.D. The temple is unique for its historical ties to Buddhism, as it was once known as the Kadarika Vihara, a major Buddhist center. This historical confluence is symbolized by the presence of idols of Buddhist deities like Lokeshwara (believed to be a form of Brahma) and other figures like Manjushri within the complex, alongside the Hindu deities. The main idol of Manjunatha is a Panchaloha (five-metal alloy) figure, considered one of the finest bronze statues in South India, installed by King Kundavarma of the Alupa dynasty around 968 A.D. The current structure is primarily a granite construction, renovated in the 14th century, exhibiting a beautiful blend of Vijayanagara architectural style. The temple complex includes the sacred Sapta Teerthas (seven holy ponds/wells), believed to have been created by Lord Parashurama and the seven crore holy chants. The surrounding area also features the mysterious Pandava Caves, believed by locals to have been a temporary dwelling for the Pandavas during their exile, further adding to the temple's mythological aura. The serenity of the hill, the ancient inscriptions, and the continuous flow of sacred water from the Gomukha (cow's mouth) spout, whose source remains a mystery, make it a powerful place of worship and a key heritage site. The practice of the Natha Pantha cult (Jogis) is also historically linked to this hill, emphasizing its multi-layered religious history.
