Shiva Lingas of Sahasralinga

Sahasralinga is an important pilgrimage place about 12km from Sirsi. The river flowing here is Shalmala. Many Shivalingas and Basavannas are carved on rocks inthe river. Sahasralinga means "Thousand Lingas" but I doubt that many can be found now.








The pallet is similar to the one I saw at Lepaksi.



My guess: Rama and Sita worshiping Shivalinga.


Shalmala Ugamasthala is near Dharwad, very close to Someswara Devasthana off Dharwad-Khalgatgi road.

    ಒಳ್ಳೆ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳು, ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು, ಅಲ್ಲೇ ಹತ್ತಿರದ ಊರವನಾದರೂ ಇಂಥ ಚಿತ್ರ ತೆಗೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲವಲ್ಲ ಅಂತ ಅನಿಸಿತು,

    Thank you all.

    Sahasralinga is about 6km from Sirsi. Sirsi is connected to Hubli and Shimoga by plenty of buses plying through out the day.
