- Marikamba Temple
The Marikamba Temple stands as a significant religious landmark in Sirsi, built in the 17th century.

This site attracts thousands of devotees annually for its grand festivals and architectural brilliance. - Sahasralinga
Located in the middle of the Shalmala River, Sahasralinga is famous for the hundreds of stone lingas carved into the riverbed rocks. Each linga is accompanied by a carved Nandi, and the site becomes particularly striking during the monsoon when the water flows over the carvings. It represents a unique intersection of spiritual devotion and natural beauty.
Sirsi and Yana Sightseeing Itinerary
The second day involves an excursion to the prehistoric rock formations and the vibrant waterfalls of the region. The path leads through thick canopy forests, offering numerous opportunities for photography and nature observation.
- Unchalli Falls
The Unchalli Falls, also known as Lushington Falls, is a spectacular waterfall created by the Aghanashini River dropping from a height of over 116 meters. The waterfall is known for the thunderous sound it makes and the mist that often envelops the surrounding valley. Visitors can enjoy the view from designated platforms that offer a panoramic perspective of the dense forests. - Yana Rocks
The Yana Rocks are massive limestone formations located amidst the lush greenery of the Sahyadri mountains. The two prominent peaks, Bhairaveshwara Shikhara and Mohini Shikhara, are revered for their geological uniqueness and spiritual importance. A trek through the forest leads to these towering structures, where a cave temple is nestled at the base of the larger rock. - Banavasi
The ancient town of Banavasi was the first capital of the Kadamba dynasty and remains one of the oldest towns in Karnataka. The Madhukeshwara Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, showcases exceptional craftsmanship with its stone carvings and monolithic structures.
