- Workerant14 contributionsHuge complex that has a modern feel to it but yet there is tradition all around. Apart from the main temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, there are temples to Sri Krishna, Hanuman, Sai Baba, the Snake Gods, Navagrahas and more. The temple also features a statue of Shri Narayana Guru, a social reformer who installed and consecrated the main deity here and was responsible for the upliftment of the Billawa community. There is also a huge venue for weddings. All in all a must visit for anyone.Written 15 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NishanthBengaluru, India23 contributionsThis is a full day activity and in case if you visit this place for only half day or few hours then you will be able to see 2 or 3 things only. We had around 3 hours of time hence had to choose 2 activity. We opted for Zoo visit and Arts and Gutthu house visit. Zoo was maintained well, as the animals were looking healthy compared to few other zoo in other cities were animals look malnutritioned. This place is in outskirts of Mangalore but not very far though. Just a drive of 20 minutes will take you there. Need to buy tickets for each activity or can buy one ticket for all the activities. It is better if you purchase a buggy ticket for travelling between attractions otherwise you will have to walk between attractions and might loose your time just for that.Written 27 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Radhakrishna Mallya49 contributionsOne of the beaches which has rocks on the shore and sea as well! A quiet and less crowded beach is there for enjoyment... evenings are the best time to visit. It can get lonely at dusk and hence best to leave, with respect to safety.Written 10 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
