Sahasralinga, Karwar ( Sirsi ) - History details

Sahasralinga along the Shalmala River contains thousands of Shiva lingas carved on natural rocks, commissioned largely by King Sadashivarayavarma (1678–1718). Each linga has a Nandi facing it. When water recedes, the riverbed reveals the carvings. Mahashivaratri draws thousands of devotees.
