Sri Sahasralingeshwara Temple




Sri Sahasralingeshwara Temple in Uppinangady is said to be around 2500 years old. The stones found on the banks of the rivers Kumaradhara and Netravati are treated as Shivlingas. The main Shivlinga is hidden in sand on the bank of river Netravathi to the left of the temple. Devotees take holy bath and worship Lord Shiva at the confluence of the two rivers. Pilgrims visit this temple on holy occasions like Mokhe Jathre which is held thrice in one year - on a full moon day Pournami of Magha month, Krishnapaksha Ashtami of Magha month and on Shivratri.
