What is Gokarna?

Gokarna is a small and remote holy town, with four of India’s most secluded and pristine beaches nestled nearby. It draws both pious pilgrims and hedonistic holiday makers with equal enthusiasm.The town of Gokarna is about 450 km from Bangalore. The only Shaivaite pilgrimage centre in India with Atmalinga. The Mahabaleshwara Temple in the town is one of the holiest in South India and is frequented by pilgrims. Legend says that the Atmalinga acquired by Ravana from Lord Shiva was transported here. The 1,500-year-old Mahabaleshwara temple, the most visited location in town, enshrines a finely carved stone image of Lord Shiva in standing position.

    I am very much interested to visit the place. Can you tell me when Gokarna is without much rush so that I plan to visit and pray God peacefully. By the grace of lord Shiva I could see him at 4 Jyothirlinga Places and also many Shaiva kshethras. By his blessings I am proud to say that I am now residing in Shaiva Kshethra(Karnataka state). By his blessings I am doing well despite so many hardships in every walk of my life. OAM NAMAHSHIVAYAH. HARA HARA SHAMBHO. OAM NAMAHSHIVAYAH.
