One of the most beautiful and peaceful temple in the Mangalore town. I can say this as Golden temple of Mangalore because of its golden paintings all over the gopuram. It is dedicated to Lord Sir Gokarnanatha (Shiva) the main god with so many other small temples dedicated to other different Hindu gods like Sri Krishna, Sai Baba, Anjaneya, Vigneshwara, Sri Annapoorneswari etc. The temple is spacious with neat and clean premise all around the temple. So many statues carved on the walls and gopuram are really eye catching and worth seeing especially one who has knowledge and interests in Hindu religion and its gods. A small park 'Punyakoti' is there on the right side of temple with animal statues and pond nearby with statues of Lord Shiva. In addition, a big and beautiful conventional hall is located beside the temple for one who wants to have marriage ceremonies. The temple has good parking space for vehicles including four wheelers just at the left side before entrance.
