Banavasi |
|
| |
| Nestled deep in the forests of the Western
Ghats on the border of Uttara Kannada and Shimoga districts,
this temple town is located on the Vardha river and is
known for its rice, sugarcane, arecanut, spices, and the
famous Banavasi pineapple. This is where the eminent poet
Pampa wrote his poems. It was the capital of the Kadambas,
the first kingdom of ancient Karnataka. The Madhukeshwara
Temple, famed for its architecture, derives its name from
the honey-coloured lingam in the inner sanctum of the
temple. An imposing Nandi faces the lingam. |
