Kudroli Shri Gokarnanatha Swami Temple - Hindu temple in Mangaluru - Dakshina Kannada, India

A very beautiful temple, feels good about the environment when we are there. Modernized architecture can be seen. We had a prasada( lunch ). Glad to know they feed so many people everyday.

Such a beautiful temple... Feels like golden temple.. so so beautiful.. not much crowded.. we had good darshan..

It's a beautiful temple and a must visit in Mangalore. Pictures attached were taken during Navratri celebration. Beautiful modern architecture and peaceful environment, a good place to spend time with family. Has ample parking space too.

Extremely beautiful temple with wonderful architecture and paints. Marvelous designs and hygienic beyond expectations. The temple is well maintained with neatly marked boards. Car parking is easily available right up front. This temple is the exact definition of an 'ideal modern temple'. Good place for photos too, you can visit this temple during the afternoons or the evenings. There are also some shows and events occasionally held here, do check these out before visiting.

Writing this review especially for the Dusshera celebration at kudroli gokarnath. The temple glows in golden color and the pictures cannot justify it's beauty All the 9 navdurgas worshipped beautifully, Krishna kirthans happening, yakshagana happening, everything is just very devine and beautiful There is a whole fair just outside the temple road and the whole Street is lit up beautifully. Even if not on Dusshera, this temple is normally very peaceful and it's golden colour shines bright all throughout

A very calm and cool atmosphere if you plan to visit during early morning or in the evening. Footpath will be bit hot when you visit lunch time. Annaprasada (lunch) will be provided for devotees everyday. Children will be happy since there are few wild and domestic animal statues and are useful for taking pictures. The temple is well maintained and clean around. You will have to explore the entire area of the temple including the ceiling. Bit rush during weekends. Parking area is available near the main entrance of the temple. There was no queue when I visited (June first weekend). A nice fountain is also situated at the left side of temple inside temple premises and it will be attractive during evening
