Photos Of Talakadu
Shivanasamudra, Karnataka, India
Place Overview: Talakadu is a mystical town located on the banks of the Kaveri River, famous for its vast sand dunes that have buried dozens of ancient temples. It is often called the Benares of the South due to its high concentration of sacred shrines. The town is most famous for the Curse of Talak adu, attributed to Alamelamma, which supposedly caused the fertile land to turn into a desert and the Mysore kings to remain without heirs. Today, only a few temples like the Vaidyanatheshwara Temple have been excavated from the sand and are open to the public. The landscape is surreal, with hills of sand shifting over time, occasionally revealing glimpses of buried stone structures. It is a major pilgrimage site for the Panchalinga Darshana, a festival held every 12 years where devotees visit five specific Shiva temples. The town offers a unique blend of archaeology, folklore, and natural beauty. Walking through the sand to reach the temples feels like a journey back in time, offering a glimpse into a lost civilization that was once the capital of the Ganga Dynasty.
