Mangaladevi Temple, MangaloreNestled in the heart of Mangalore city, Mangaladevi Temple holds immense historical and religious significance. This temple dates back to the 9th century and is believed to have been built by the Alupa dynasty under the guidance of sages Matsyendranath and Gorakhnath. Dedicated to Goddess Mangaladevi, the deity is revered as a form of Shakti (the divine feminine). The temple is the namesake of the city itself—Mangalore derives its name from this goddess. Pilgrims come here seeking blessings for marital harmony, prosperity, and strength. The temple becomes especially vibrant during Navaratri and Dussehra, drawing thousands of devotees from across Karnataka and Kerala. 2. Someshwara Temple and Beach, UllalLocated about 13 km from Mangalore, the Someshwara Temple is perched along the Arabian Sea in Ullal. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, worshipped here as Someshwara (Lord of the Moon). It is believed to be over a thousand years old and was historically associated with Queen Abbakka Devi, the first Tuluva queen who resisted Portuguese colonisation. The temple’s proximity to the sea gives it a tranquil and sacred aura. After darshan, visitors can stroll along Someshwara Beach, a relatively untouched and serene stretch of coastline. Sunset views here are spectacular, and the large rocks known as “Rudra Shile” add a dramatic charm to the landscape. 3. Pilikula NisargadhamaA short drive from Mangalore city, Pilikula is a 370-acre eco-educational and cultural park that celebrates the biodiversity and heritage of coastal Karnataka. It features a zoological park where animals roam in natural enclosures, a heritage village demonstrating Tulu traditions, a science centre, a planetarium, a boating lake, and a vast botanical garden with rare Western Ghats flora. “Pilikula” means “Tiger Pond,” as tigers once frequented this area. The blend of conservation, education, and leisure makes it an excellent stop for families and nature enthusiasts. 4. Kadri Manjunatha TempleOne of Mangalore’s oldest and most revered temples, the Kadri Manjunatha Temple, sits at the base of Kadri Hills. It is believed to date back to the 10th or 11th century and reflects both Hindu and Buddhist influences. The temple is dedicated to Lord Manjunatha (an incarnation of Shiva) and houses one of the oldest bronze statues of Lord Lokeshwara (Avalokiteshvara) in India, indicating its Buddhist roots. The temple is surrounded by natural springs believed to have healing powers. The atmosphere is peaceful and spiritually uplifting, especially during the annual Jathra Mahotsava held in January. 5. Panambur Beach / Tannirbhavi BeachDepending on your preference, you can visit either of these two popular beaches. Panambur Beach is lively and well-maintained, offering camel rides, jet skiing, food stalls, and a glimpse of ships sailing into New Mangalore Port. It’s famous for its annual international kite festival. Tannirbhavi
