About Gokarna

Gokarna Mahabaleshwar Temple tower

Gokarna is a temple town in the coastal northern region of Karnataka. The rustic nature of the Western Ghats and the unspoilt strips of beach near the estuary of the river Aghanashini, makes it a postcard destination. As legend goes, Lord Siva is said to have emerged from the ears of Goddess Earth, disguised in the form of a cow, hence the name Gokarna literally means ‘cow’s ears’. Gokarna is also the place where Ravana is believed to have acquired the possession of Atmalinga from Lord Siva as a reward for his penance.

Sparks of Travel

  O how they cling and wrangle, some who claim
  For preacher and monk the honoured name!
  For, quarrelling, each to his view they cling.
  Such folk see only one side of a thing.

 

To peel layers of identity and conditionings of the mind like how a snake sheds its skin.

It poses as the perfect place with breathtaking views of the horizon during Sun rise. The historical significance and temple heritage in and around Tharangambadi make it a perfect slow travel destination.
