Madhur Temple in Kasaragod

A sacred bath on the banks of a river, while being surrounded by paddy fields and coconut trees that sway in the breeze, is one of the reasons why devotes throng the Sree Madanantheswara Sidhivinayaka Temple in Kasaragod district. Located 8 km from Kasaragod town, it lies on the banks of the magnificent Madhuvahini River. People are especially enamoured by its unique three-tiered dome, copper-plated roofing and a cloistered courtyard. People trust in the purifying power of this sacred site, where the main deity is Lord Shiva but it is extremely important to Ganapathy devotees as well.
