The holy bath on the banks of the river, surrounded by paddy fields and palm trees that are swaying in the wind, are some of the reasons why many devotees flock to the Sree Madanantheswara Sidhivinayaka Temple. It is situated 8 km from the town of Kasaragod, on the banks of the majestic Madhuvahini River. People are especially enamored by its distinctive three-tiered dome, copper-plated roofs, and a cloistered courtyard. People believe in the purifying power of this holy location, where Lord Shiva is the main deity, but it is also extremely important to the devotees of Ganapathy.
