The Mahabaleshwar temple enshrines the Aatma Lingam of Lord Shiva. Legend has it that the holy Lingam was given by Shiva to King Ravana to make his kingdom an invincible fortress. Varuna and Ganesha tricked Ravana into placing the Lingam here and in spite of the might exerted by Ravana (Maha Bala) the Lingam remained rooted to the ground. The Shiva Mahabala Deva temple is regarded to be next in sanctity only to the Vishwanath Siva Temple in Varanasi and is often called the Dakshina Kashi.

Gokarna is also known for its idyllic beaches and serene landscape.  It also has a number of tourist points nearby.

History takes us to the chapter, that Sri Ramachandrapura Matha owned this temple. Now, legaly the Government Of Karnataka delivered this temple back to Matha. Sri Matha has many development plans, both social and religious – to improve the Gokarna archetecture, to make it emerging in the International level as a Hindu Religious point.

Shivaratri is the yatra held at Gokarna, which attracts millions of piligrims and devotees.
