Shankar Narayan Temple
The Shankar Narayan Temple, also known as the Shankaranarayana Temple, is a revered shrine located in the village of Shankaranarayana near Udupi, Karnataka. This temple is one of the seven holy places created by the sage Parashurama, and it is known for the unique confluence of Lord Shiva (Hara) and Lord Vishnu (Hari) in a single deity, Shankaranarayana.
The temple is situated amidst lush greenery and coconut groves, offering a serene and peaceful environment. The main deity, an Udbhava Linga, is a naturally formed lingam of Lord Shankara and Lord Narayana, located about one foot below the ground inside the Garbhagudi (sanctum sanctorum).
Devotees believe that the footprints of Kamadhenu, the holy cow, are imprinted on the Narayana Linga.
The temple also features a beautiful pond called Koti Theertha in front of the temple, which holds spiritual significance. The annual fair, Shankaranaraya Jaatre, is held on January 16th and attracts a large number of devotees from surrounding villages.
